predators like Creeper and Big One should be allowed to stay since they are not really "natural" animals, they are deliberately created to be monsters for a series.. they act in defiance to a normal member of their species (in Creeper's case it is a demon so can't apply as a normal "predator" anyway).

Jaws is a good example of why such "animal villains" can exist, same with the Kraken of mythology and some versions of Yeti and Bigfoot.. they are played as "monsters" or "rogues" who actively antagonize humanity.

that makes them different from the average fairy tale wolf, who is simply acting out natural tendencies and often being victimized as a result by older societies that didn't understand them or simply disliked them (wolves rarely ever attack humans unless provoked, a bear that attacks a human can not be considered "evil" as the human is in their territory and so on..).

the main argument for getting rid of animals that do not have a moral code is due to the "Moby Dick syndrome" : basically people state it is wrong to try and percieve animals as "evil", as animals do not understand right from wrong.. seeking "revenge" on an animal is ultimately futile (as Ahab learned).
