Let's not have a thread that lists all of the horrible things that people do to each other and to animals. That seems like a recipe for disaster.
We really are a parasitic species. I do wonder if we came across other intelligent lifeforms whilst exploring space, if they would deem us a threat to the galaxy and exteminate us like the virus we are?

Yes. It's more the other way around - them coming across us, not us coming across them.
It could be of course that the masterplan for the universe is for us to create self-replicating AI "life" which unlike us (subject to the frailty and limitations of organic life) can proliferate and bring order to the entire universe. We'd be a threat.

I am guessing you don't watch The Orville (Star Trek but with some levity and a bit of soap opera). It deals with pretty much exactly this in the past two episodes.
