Overpopulation in the animal world "hurts" nature too, humans just do it on a larger scale. If humans over use their resources, there will be a shortage, then something causes a decrease in population, then it evens out. The problem is, humans are using too many resources. If we want to prevent catastrophic losses of human life, we need to pull back.
