What role did las casas expect the spaniards to play on hispaniola? what did they do instead?

Spaniards, in a matter of seconds, carried on like ravening wild animals such as tigers, wolves, or lions that had been hungry for quite a while, and for forty years they have done nothing else, nor they are in pain. They destroyed them with sporadic and new and jumpers’ sort of violence.
