Humans are fucking terrifying.
Alien 1: so tell me about this new species you've found
Alien 2: well it's in a kind of backwater planet of a backwater galaxy so they haven't made contact with any other sentient species. Only one sentient species on the planet. Couple of almost-sentient though, but one has achieved dominance.
Alien 1: not uncommon. Tell me about them.
Alien 2: they're terrifying.
Alien 1: really?
Alien 2: they breed and expand like a virus, taking over every geographic area they enter.
Alien 1: they have large litters of children then?
Alien 2: no, relatively few.

Alien 2: they. kill. everything.
Alien 1: they wha--

Alien 1: That just got worse.
Alien 2: They managed to quickly discover all the poisonous plants and prey in their area.
Alien 1: Ah, so they're intelli--
Alien 2: And they consumed them en masse.
Alien 1: ...
Alien 2: for fun.
Alien 1: we should probably destroy their planet.
Alien 2: in self-defense.
