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.

Bad example! That's a limited environment that earth firsters bring up all the time! The Doom and Gloom crowed! Do you really want to be a part of that crowed? If we are using too many it will self correct, but we are no where near that point, not even close! It is said that this is why so many "Egghead" Greenies like it when we ban DDT! Because it promotes more human death! "Lightens the load" so to speak! Too many people put us last and "Earth First" and have no concept or faith! If we were gone, who would care? We bring all value to this world and it can't be the value that doesn't value LIFE!

There is NO proof that DDT caused eggs to be thin! You can't cite proof because it doesn't exist, just was a theory!
