Do you think a mass suicide is called for?

>>>Go figure..<<<

Life is a miracle or at least not completely explainable, all births are miraculous in the same sense. Animal rights are different than human rights. Animals are subject to the laws of nature. It is not wrong or murderous when a wolf kills and eats a mouse. The rights of animals to maintain predator/prey relationships are now known to keep animal populations in good health (in natural settings). It is natural for animals have territorial disputes but nothing like war.

Animals are not greedy but humans can be. Humans are not bound by animal nature, or one particular nature, so there are non-greedy humans who can be kind and generous. If humans were bound to animal nature, mainly alpha males would be participating in the reproductive process. The rest would be sitting on the couch watching Netflix, like in a bee hive where all the drones (males) just hang out and get fed by the worker bees (females), the queen mates once in life when she hatches out. The queen gets all the eggs she will ever need from the drone who flies the highest. Then he goes back to the couch and joins the rest. There are usually about 20,000 drones in a hive not attended by a bee keeper. Bee Keepers throw the drones and drone cells out on the ground.

Would you tend to human beings like the bee keeper tends to bees? Maybe that was a function of war in the past.

It seems like you are advocating the elimination of human populations to some extent. That also seems to be in conflict with other left leaning positions. Go figure...
