Cull The Humans!

Our species has evolved on a pristine 4.5 billion year old planet and ruined it with 8 to 10 thousand years, and it’s not improving as we march headlong into the future. At seven plus billion and rapidly increasing, human life is cheap. So if there is any one species on Planet Earth that needs culling desperately, it’s the human species. Fortunately, humans do a somewhat reasonable job of doing just that, but as the report card always says, “could do better”.

You know there’s something very terribly wrong when non-human species are disappearing and going extinct at a rapid rate of knots while humanity breeds and breeds and keeps increasing its numbers by leaps and bounds.

Abortion: Anything that has prevented millions of brats from being inflicted on the world has got to be a good thing and needs to be encouraged. More of same please. And as a bonus, all those brats that never were, never turned into adults; adults that never were and didn’t breed even more brats. Yippee! 

Animal Attacks: Humans kill millions of animals a day (including fish) for fun and profit so it is only fitting and just deserts that every once in an all too extremely rae while, animals even up the score – well hardly even since the ratio is still millions and millions to one. Of course if you include all those bacteria and viruses as ‘animals’ then the score is a bit more balanced. And isn’t it lovely how all those nasty bacteria are developing ever increasing resistance to human antibiotics. We’re really overdue for a pandemic.

Bioterrorism: All you wannabe mad scientists out there bring it on!

Birth Control: This is a painless way of keeping the human population under control. Can you imagine the benefits if this practice were increased 100-fold!

Death Penalty/Capital Punishment: If you know the law of the land and you persist in paying your money and taking your chances, well, so be it. Maybe the death penalty prevents some people from doing stupid things; maybe not. However, the one absolute benefit of capital punishment is that the offender will not ever be a repeat offender, and it’s got to be a cheaper option to the taxpayer that keeping someone locked away for the term of their natural life.

Drug Use and Abuse: Hey, it’s a victimless ‘crime’ and if it kills the user, well that’s another user loser who bit the dust and as far as I’m concerned, the more who eat dust, the better.

Extreme Sports: People risking their necks by participating in extreme sports make me extremely happy if it results in an extreme number of fatalities.

Gun Control: I don’t think so. Guns don’t kill people; people kill people using guns and the more of that the better. I understand that, for example, a significant number of firearm-related deaths in the US of A are caused by young black males to other young black males. I’ve got no issue with this at all. We just need a contest to determine the last young black male standing.

Internal Conflicts in Somalia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, etc: Muslims killing Muslims by the thousands! Hey, I got no problem with that. As Sarah Palin said, let Allah sort the mess out. But is WASP countries want to pitch in and contribute sending Muslims to their Promised Land, so much the better. I’ll look forward to the 21^st Century version of the Crusades! 

Natural Disasters: Religious types say this is God’s wrath and way of punishing wicked humanity. I could care less about the religious overtones, as long as nature keeps culling the human species. Humans should be encouraged, even given financial assistance to migrate to disaster prone areas, IMHO.

Obesity: Anything that shortens the natural lifespan or life expectancy of the human being has got to be a good thing (and it keeps the medical profession gainfully employed). So please keep on stuffing your faces, blubber-girls and remove yourselves from the gene pool sooner rather than later. And yes, it’s primarily the female of the species who over indulges and thus over bulges. 

Save the Children: Why? So they can grow up and breed like rabbits and produce hordes more brats that will need saving! It should read “Save the world from children”.

Suicide: This is a private and personal matter that is no one else’s business. If one has a right-to-life, then one has a right-to-death. That includes euthanasia as well. It’s better to go out swinging and of your own free will than risking another alternative. Suicide should be encouraged, or at least not be prevented. Again, this is a victimless ‘crime’.  

Traffic Accidents and Road Deaths: This should be encouraged, especially for carloads of drunken hoons. As a runner-up, drivers who engage in cell phone usage on the road, well they too deserve to meet their maker.

Kindly note by the way that I’m not discriminating against any particular human nationality; any particular human race or ethnic group; any particular human religion; or any particular human anything. All humans are grist for my mill. The only good human is a deceased human and one that kicks-the-bucket before his or her use by date.

However, I do have to admit that every once in a while, I read some story of some type of incredible bond between a human and his or her companion animal – dog usually, but also cats, horses, etc. Sometimes there will be some sort of heart-warming human interest story of a human putting the wellbeing and life of an animal ahead of his or her own. At times like those, I reflect that there just might be some hope for the human species after all. However, on balance…

But then I remember how the Japanese slaughter their dolphins and all those great whales that have been and are being harpooned. Then I remember how the Canadians bludgeon those baby harp seals to death. Then I remember the slaughter to extinction of the passenger pigeon and the dodo and other species way to numerous to mention. Then I remember too total overfishing and trawling the ocean floor killing unwanted species by the thousands. And then I remember all those so-called ‘sportsman’ hunters with guns blazing away 24/7 to the point I’m surprised there’s a wild animal still left alive anywhere in the world, though ‘sportsman’ hunters are happily rectifying that situation even as I write this. Then I remember that not all hunting is for fun and profit, and how the ACT government    revels in culling thousands of kangaroos annually because kangaroos get in the way of voters – or at least voters who own cars and hit the animals on the road when they get in the way. Then too I remember how many millions of lab animals have been tortured in the name of ‘beauty’ by having potential cosmetics tested on them first, often by rubbing the product into their eyes. Then too I remember the horrendous treatment meted out to Australian livestock in Indonesia, Pakistan and Egypt, treatment that was so inhumane as to boggle the mind of the cruelties humans are capable of. There’s something especially barbaric above and beyond the norm about how Muslims treat animals.

It’s rare therefore to get by even one day without reading, viewing or hearing about yet another atrocity committed against non-human species, and I’m not talking about issues related to food or survival here (nature’s predator-prey relationship includes humans), but cruelty, torture, and slaughter just for the sake of cruelty, torture and slaughter.

I can take some consolation in that in the decades and centuries ahead, because humans have so totally screwed or stuffed things up, life is just going to get more and more nasty and miserable for the human species. In fact it’s already happening in that for the first time in recent history the average life expectancy of the human being is and will continue to decrease.
