Maltreatment of animals
Animal captivity for entertainment (drugged dolphins in resorts, whales at SeaWorld) and the scale at which we farm animals in factories and decimate ocean life (it’s in the 100,000,000,000s).
It’s repulsive, the way we treat animals.

Factory farms are the worst hell on earth that humans have ever created. We breed literally billions of animals into existence, give them short, horrible lives, and then brutally slaughter them.

Non-self-driving cars
Probably driving ourselves. At least by the turn of the new century. The only people who drive themselves will be enthusiasts with a niche hobby until it’s outlawed completely as humans are simply far more prone to error than computers are.

The be-all and end-all?
If the answer isn’t “using fossil fuels” then there will be a lot less humans to deem anything barbaric in 2075.
