Default dont feed the birds

No, the problem's not with people feeding birds or manatees or

whatever. What
happens is extra food usually is turned into extra babies. Extra babies

grow up
and increase the size of the flock. But, what the flock eats doesn't

necessarily
get bigger. So if people stop feeding all of a sudden some birds starve.

It's usually
the weaker ones that don't make it. This is just God's way. So if you have

compassion
for animals don't stop feeding them all of a sudden. You just murder them

doing that.
Overpopulation takes care of itself over time. Nature just works that

way. Even
if no people are feeding animals it still happens.

Ya gotta ask yourself something. Are people part of nature or not? People
are
part of nature fer sure.


You are right. There is no question that the human race is part of nature
but we are simultaneously overpopulating the planet while medical research
is making every effort to defeat nature's efforts at natural selection.
Humanity has got it coming and I am quite glad that I surely will not be
around when it finally happens.
