(24,853 posts)Those who die during droughts, floods, and other naturally occuring famines serve to strengthen their species and provide easy pickings for other species who struggle during the same times. You failed to include predation though. That would be the most important challenge facing game animals in North America today; lack of predators due to the encroachment of humans on their environment. Due to the lack of predators, some animals are able to reproduce faster than the environment can sustain their numbers. That's when the starvation comes into play. Yes, its the fault of humans, but there it is. Without human predation, there would be much more starvation than there is now.
You claim to abstain from the use of animal products of ANY sort. On that, I'll call bullshit. Plain and simple bullshit. Your brush is broad enough so as to paint the whole side of a barn in one fell swoop.
Respecting your attempt to distance yourself from constructive use of any kind of animal related product; I'm going to have to say attempt is the operative word.
