Adrak, I really don't know what you hope to achieve with threads like these. Personal amusement? The Glade is getting too old for intentional drama, but maybe that's just my opinion.

Some environmentalist theory apparently. Maybe theory isnt the right word:

You may have seen a news story about the London Zoo's exhibit of eight humans (three males and five females) within a habitat normally assigned to bears. The purpose of the exhibit, according to the zoo, is to present human beings as a "plague species" and to show our place in the world's ecosystem.

"Plague species" is a phrase out of the radical environmentalist movement. It suggests that human beings provide no benefit to the world but, like parasites, survive by causing harm to their neighbor species. Environmentalists point out that Homo sapiens has destroyed 844 other species and some 800 million of its own kind, and they claim that human activity endangers the extinction of thousands of other species. In fact, the title of a 2003 book by Reg Morrison asks, Plague Species: Is it in our genes?

Reindeer don't have birth control, and reindeer don't control other reindeer with threat of force. Population will plateau, not decrease rapidly.

Most major estimates show that we will peak somewhere around 9 billion and begin tapering off.

Will we start farming children like we do veal? If not... I am less opposed to it than if we do farm children for the tender meat.

The question is; how do we get over the mental hurdle and social stigma of cannibalism?

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. 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. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

Or maybe we're a plague species because we created a race of robots and then one day they gained self-awareness and rebelled and then decided we no longer deserved to exist because we obviously were "enslavers" by virtue of having not realized they were self aware and that meant we were necessarily going to come try to re-enslave them some day... oh and because they have one model with serious issues in relating to his mother because we didn't actually create them at all or something.
