The unintended consequences of Culling, Suttee and the Green religion.....

“Psychoanalyst Walter Langer wrote, ‘People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one and if you repeat it often enough, people will sooner or later believe it.’”

If you believe that all of life has evolved from a common ancestor, it logically follows that all living things are equally valid and therefore no life form has the intrinsic right to impose itself on another. 

As evolution increasingly occupies the throne of worldview 'dominance' we should not be astonished that there exists the concomitant shadow of a simultaneous devaluation of human life with a veneration of animal life.

The inevitable result has been a philosophical shift where it becomes permissible, even desirable (see: Planned Parenthood), to kill millions of unborn humans every year, whilst at the same time people are willing to spend millions of dollars on the preservation of a handful of beached whales, even those not threatened with extinction.

"When man loses his sense of his place in the universe, all sorts of confusion arises. In India, while cows are elevated, widows are denigrated and neglected, having lost their identity and value within Hindu culture when their husband dies (before the British banned the practice in the 1800’s, widows were customarily burnt on their husband’s funeral pyre, a practice known as Sati or Suttee after the Hindu goddess of the same name)."

Consider how the Green religion has negatively impacted the earth because of our post-modern tendency to place feelings above reason:

"For decades, conservationists used culling as a means of managing expanding herds. While not relished by conservationists, humane culling was seen as a necessary evil to properly manage the size of herds so that they could still be supported within their habitat.

A looming change—with consequences

Over the past couple of decades, however, culling has been fiercely denounced and resisted by ‘deep green’ lobbyists. Much hand wringing goes on in the belief that man has no right to kill elephants or any other creature and alternatives such as contraception were investigated. While this went on, elephant populations continued to grow and habitats were severely harmed as the elephants stripped vast areas of all trees in their desperation to find food. This in turn led to a deleterious effect on other species as ecosystems were destroyed. In some Southern African parks where culling had been stopped due to this opposition, elephants began to starve as their populations grew beyond the ability of the area to support them, quite analogous to the seemingly miserable conditions of domesticated (sacred) cows in India."
