Overpopulation

[abaris]

"Not to hurt our humble brothers (the animals) is our first duty to them... but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."

I'm perfectly aware of what Fracis said. But that's not how it works usually. Most influencal christians, who also have an interest in making a buck, wouldn't use Francis' writings to wipe their asses with. Also, without knowing if they are devout christians, the recent outrage over the so called Big Game Hunters should give you a sense of this feeling of entitlment.
