Give the herbivores abstinence only education

do people not understand how ecosystems work?

Absolutely not. This is why my friend who studies Forrest ecology sounds like an insane person whenever someone brings up deer.

Hes a lovely human being who really loves animals, but he honestly advocates that everyone should be forced to kill deer any time they see one.

Surprisingly few people think about ecosystems. Those that do often do not gauge their complexity deeply enough and view them as temporally static for the most part.

That isn't true.

This bothers me.

It’s like ohhh don’t let the wolves kill the sweet deer! Get rid of the wolves, they’re mean!

If you don’t kill deer they get stupid and wander into roads, and they eat all your baby trees, then your forests die off.

Deer evolved with predation. When predators are around they behave differently, the system needs both to keep in balance.

And being vegan is fine, but animals don’t really have a conscience where they are in conflict with the morality of causing harm or it being optional for them.

This is easily solved by giving them access to contraceptives.

That was a great read. How did they do getting rid of rats and mosquitoes?

Came here to say this. Thank you.

It would be an exoskeleton by the time it got up and walked away.

someone has to eat you first for that to happen

Yeah, I think they slapped your meat onto me instead.
