Vultures! Also going extinct

I don’t care about vultures.
Their “ecological job” can be done better by ants.
Here in South Africa they are almost extinct, mainly because they attack livestock to eat it.
It is, again, the survival of the one with guns and/or poison.
In time, sorry, no more vultures in South Africa.
Am I said about this?
No.

The more religion threatens me the less I believe!
For others, the more religion threatens them the more they believe
and the more MONEY they give to those who threaten them!

Yes, we have a pesponsibilty

Yes, we have a pesponsibilty to protect all animals. Why? because they keep amazing us with what they can do. We can copy this and help ourselves.

 

Also, most humans eat far too much mean, we can survive and flourish on a much more vegetable heavy diet. Try it, its delicious!

Vultures in Africa may be in

Vultures in Africa may be in danger, but those in North America are doing quite fine. There is currently no danger of extinction.

It is too late for most

It is too late for most presently listed endangered species. The best solution to reduce future extinctions is world wide promotion of birth control.

Are more people needed on this planet?

As I pointed out in another thread, China and India comprise about 35% of the earth's population. They are at the industrialization stage of development and it will not take them long to reach the US's rate of consumption (as an aside this demonstrates that communism has failed miserably). Population of US 300 million. Population of China and India 2500 million; 8 times as many people!

List of endangered animal species - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_endangered_animal_species

 

There is little hope that most of these animals will survive.

Why can't those who hold to intelligent design see that the universe was designed to kill us?
Mind the Machiavellian theists and taqiyahs who masquerade as atheists.

   No more people are needed on this planet.  Truthfully, Earth would benefit quite nicely without the human species existing at all.

  Population growth in communist China has indeed exploded.  Yet the same thing has happened in India which is frequently referred to as the world's largest democracy.  Both nations have exceeded the one billion mark. Both nations failed to check excessive population growth.  Apparently it doesn't matter what form of government is in place if that respective government fails to enact effective policy.

Personally,  I think it's my pesponsibility to eat as much mean as can be tolerated.  And then turn the other cheek.

(Sorry.  It's late.  My resistance is low)

China and India have been more heavily populated than Europe and its settlements since long before communism was thought of. They are more populated because, basically, they had lower mortality rates than the west for centuries. There are many reasons why, for example.... China had more and more rich agriculture in the 15th and 16th centuries than anyone in Europe had ever even imagined before ~ and in later centuries when Europeans , influenced by the major religion of the time, were abandoning, disowning and emotionally castrating their children for the sake of "sexual morality" the Chinese and Indian people were minimising in order to squeeze larger extended families into their tiny quarters thereby they were culturally fostering the growing population rather than stiliting it ~ while the plague ravaged Europe, China was flourishing unaffected by the seemingly unstoppable spread of pestilence (this is said to be due to the cleaner, minimalist lifestyles that asia lived)...

So the hugely dense population of China is not a result of communist rule, it was already 500 million (40% larger than todays american population) before they declared themselves communist, besides the fact that comparing the population of China (thousands of years as a settled country) to the US (barely a few hundred years of settlement) is an embarrassing mistake.

"Truthfully, Earth would benefit quite nicely without the human species existing at all."

Earth itself would not benefit or suffer if we were to go extinct. Some forms of life would, but then many others would suffer. There are plenty of life forms that have evolved along side us, that depend on us. We are as much a part of the ecosystem as anything else.
