Sir David Attenborough Says Humans Need To Stop Breeding

Here’s what the renowned naturalist says:�http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/01/22/david-attenborough-radio-times-interview-population_n_2524315.html

An excerpt:

David Attenborough has described humans as a “plague on Earth” that need to slow down breeding to stop the world’s population being reduced by more brutal means.

Speaking to the Radio Times, the beloved naturalist said the impact of the rapidly increasing population “will come home to roost over the next 50 years or so.”

In a lecture for the campaign group, which believes that reducing the world’s population will lessen environmental problems, Attenborough said .

�As I see it, humanity needs to reduce its impact on the earth urgently and there are three ways to achieve this: we can stop consuming so many resources, we can change our technology and we can reduce the growth of our population.�

�All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder � and ultimately impossible to solve � with ever more people.�

I was once actually asked why AnimalCare funds are not extended to humans.

For neutering? Or medical treatment, I asked.

He said it was for medical treatment. And since science teaches us that humans are a “type” of animal, we should extend it to humans too, he argued.

I then asked him if he was a “stray”.

The conversation ended there.

A quote from Matrix:

Agent Smith: I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You’re a plague and we are the cure.

LOL!

But seriously….
