The problem was that the herds were dying out at the time due to a drastic change in their environment. With a decreasing population, enviromental changes and such, Man just hastened their demise by tipping the scales more towards extinction than adaptation and survival! I repeat -- MAN DID NOT HAVE TO KILL OFF ALL THE HERDS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXTINCTIONS!
