The Need to Breed

[Angrboda]

No offense, Rhythm, but I find your position rather unclear. You first suggest that population control be tried as the last option after controlling all other factors of the environment, which left me puzzled. (If the point is preservation of the species, then if controlling population growth is the most effective means of preserving the species, why choose that as a last resort? If preservation of the species is not the goal, then what is?) Now you've clarified your position.... somewhat. You state that none of the population control solutions on the table are workable or fair, and you'll defer until people come up with a good population control solution.... in the midst of a conversation about finding solutions. A sort of, "Let's not try to find a solution, until we find a solution." You seem to be denigrating both the proposed solutions and any attempts to find a solution, in the absence of a bona fide self-evident solution. This seems profoundly confusing to me. How do we find solutions without trying to find solutions, through discussion, or through real world trials?
