I'm positive there are more rats and mice (both) than humans. But, since rats and mice have flourished due to human activities such as agriculture and the elimination of predator habitat, that's not a good thing to point to. If you consider the human species as just another animal, like deer, cats and dogs, etc., It's obvious that we are far more numerous than we should be for our own good. If you consider our current lineup of problems, at their core is, there's just too many damn humans using too much of the world's resources. Every day, some kid is born somewhere on Earth that grows up desperately wanting all the crap he sees on reruns of "The OC". Now, more than a few religions teach us that God gave us the Earth and everything on it to use in whatever way we wanted. Humans are "special", created in HIS image, and all other animals are just potential meat for US. We've got to get past that. We've got to see that if, we all want to live better than the kings of old, THIS MANY of us just can't do it sustainably. Time to choose to control human populations.
