I hope this type of thing concerns the WP faithful. It does me. To much humanity for the the earth to adequately support? To much greed and money involved to slow down the crush?
There is much information of this type available. This is but one.

Yeah, that sucks. The Earth can only support a limited amount of organisms, so it's only a matter of time until we run out of resources. 6 Billion and counting...

I hope we can save Salmon from extinction. Next time you're sipping on a 40 pour a little something for Passenger Pigeons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeons) (the epitome of tragedy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeons#Methods_of_killing)).
Damn, somebody got real creative on their asses :doh:
One method of killing was to blind a single bird by sewing its eyes shut using a needle and thread. This bird's feet would be attached to a circular stool at the end of a stick that could be raised five or six feet in the air, then dropped back to the ground. As the bird attempted to land, it would flutter its wings, thus attracting the attention of other birds flying overhead. When the flock landed near this decoy bird, nets would trap the birds and the hunters would crush their heads between their thumb and forefinger. This has been claimed as the origin of the term stool pigeon,[12] though this etymology is disputed.[13]

No kidding man. I'm no PETA type but man that is about the cruelest most depraved thing I can imagine. The time it would take to sew something's eyes together and rig it up to be a decoy is impressive enough. Then you throw in the "crush their skull with bare hands" nugget and it puts it over the top.
