Any competent space faring species would have no need of our resources or manual labor, the stuff on earth is in abundance in far easier to get locations. I would welcome a visit, the aliens would think we are cute most likely

Probably. And then bring us back in cages for their zoos, so people back home could appreciate us too. We have no need for the resources or labor of most animals, yet we spent a substantial amount of our history hunting them for fun even after we needed it for survival.

I tried to think of a counter point - that hunting is really only fun if it’s somewhat challenging. But then i remember a lot of hunting is also wealthy people walking out onto a savannah and blasting the first animal they see. So, yeah you’re right, good point haha
