Yeah, hunting can't support that many people. When I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii there were a lot of pot smoking preppers who believed that there was going to be a massive economic collapse that was going to destroy civilization as we know it. Because they smoked so much pot, they were fairly unrealistic about how they were going to survive that event, so they were really lousy preppers. They believed that hunting would supply them with an abundance of meat. The island has an enormous population of feral pigs, which they believed would supply them with endless food. They were not interested in domesticating them, and really seemed to believe that they would just be able to go out and hunt a pig whenever they were hungry. The island is pretty big, but there are a 100,000 people living there. Once a hundred thousand hungry pig hunters hit the bush, the pig population would be reduced really fast.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
