You see how that logic works. So basically the solution of the story is total destruction of one species?

Hardly. As Tomiko implied, each human being is essentially a WMD with the capacity to exterminate all queerats. These WMD have repeatedly been used against the queerats so the queerats are quite aware of the destructive power and of the fact that humans will not think twice to use it against them. Once the decision was made to rebel, the
only way victory can be guaranteed is through the elimination of every WMD. In fact, the humans essentially agree with this view of themselves, as they kill any young who show a hint of the potential to become a fiend.
For the humans, on the other hand, they can achieve victory without resorting to killing every last queerat. In fact, they probably only need to kill a few (the fiend, Yakomaru, etc.) to see the rebellion crumble.
Of course, that's easier said than done since this society seems to have no contingency plan in place to deal with a fiend once it emerges (it's completely unrealistic by the way, and the major failing of this story. If Shun decides not to kill himself then the whole society is doomed. Brilliant.) From the previews though it looks like Satoru might come up with a solution.
