Culling is acceptable where population increases outstrip what the land can support What I say next may shock and of course may get editted but I am going to say it anyway. Can one positively say that the increase in human population can be supported by the planet. Should we cull human population to meet the demands of the confines of the blue planet? Carl Sagans book Billions and Billions can shed some light on the thought processes around the statement above.
The above quote is from a discussion on hunting elephants in the General WS Forum.
I think it'll be a great topic, as long as we all remember to keep cool heads & remember, no personal attacks on anyone!
Quite frankly, I think planet Earth will be just fine with out the human cull. If more people are born than can be fed, then they will simply die in poverty. No problem.
The issues that many have is that more developed countries apparently have surplus food which should be shared with the poorer ones. The problem I have with that is basic human corruption. Who'se in charge, who'll be offended if they're not, etc.
And I now leave the floor...
