What difference does Dawkin's view make?
People and animals are suffering and dying all the time. We have no duty or obligation to end suffering, indeed such a goal is unrealistic because suffering is an inevitable cold hard fact of reality.
When we get things back into perspective we realise we instead have a choice, not a responsibility. We can choose to minimise suffering in this world for our fellow man and animals. We can choose to go to MacDonalds instead.
The animals and us are all going to die with or without our intervention anyway. That's nature for you.
