If you're supposed to relocate insects and animals that don't spread disease, and make the world a worse place (your example cochroaches), what about animals that overpopulate farms, like rats, mice, rabbits, cane toads, locusts, and the rest of those living creatures that come under the category of "pest."

And there is something else I'm not clear on. If you agree that it is okay to cull these pests, on the basis that they cause the death of other animals, in particular those that are endangered, wouldn't that mean you'd have to kill all who prey on these rare animals?

I amit not to knowing a whole lot about nature, I breathe the smog not that oxygen stuff. But I'm sure somewhere in the world there is a rare species of something that can only live where it is due to the climate or some rare plant, but I'd be willing to bet that there would be another endangered species on which it preys.

I'm a bit confused...
