I've heard some people justify hunting and fishing by claiming that they help control the animal population. For some reason, though, these same people don't seem to be concerned about human overpopulation. There are now over 6 BILLION people in the world, many of whom live in abject poverty. Our natural resources are being sucked dry enough as it is, and the current population trends certainly aren't helping matters.

Most people have selective thinking, and believe themselves to be above the animal kingdom.
I would be very much in favour of control of the human population. It's a shameful mess. Animals do no such harm, and nature has it's own way of controlling animal populations anyway. Humans interfere.

Good point, I think some people shy away from logic if they believe it will adversely affect their social stature[consciously or otherwise]. In radical form; just like a vegan killing a person to prove their point.. Hypocrisy times ten.
Some sociologists have argued that it is immoral to feed people in poor countries as this will help increase their population further. There is no doubt that education on contraception is the only humane answer to the overpopulation question.

Well there is a lot of concern about it but unlike animal over-population we can not justify letting humans dies or killing them. No one talks about it because there is no popular solution that will get a government re-elected.

many people do see it as a problem. we can either be sensible and have less children. Or wait for nature to take care of the population problem for us

Is there actually a difference between the two? Apart from all the contamination and the agressivity of course...

everybody wants to have kids, except me. I'm helping control the human population by not having kids myself.

the gov. does see that.....that's why they come out with different viruses to kill lots of people....they even do attacks on their own kind & blame it on other countries.... If u even looked at the 9/11 videos real closely u would open up ur eyes to see that they've planned all this......they placed bombs in the towers & used American planes to say they had been hijacked by Islamic people. whenever I find the wedsite I saw it...I'm come here & post it so everyone can see why our gov. developed the AIDS to kill people & the whole 9/11..........................
