But there are already many examples of the overbreeding. Like a local one to Northern England and Scotland streams, with crayfish. We need to start eating those little buggers because they’re decimating our streams. Awareness should be raised that this is happening so we can get them eaten and allow the streams to thrive again.
Also you can go hunting deer in Scotland. This is allowed to happen because if they were just allowed to run of their own accord, because they have no predictors in Britain and Britain is only small, they’d either over graze leaving grasses bare and starve; or they’d spread disease through too many numbers. So we can hunt them to control the numbers. And venison is very tasty.
Obviously there will be lots of information that’s true from both sides of the coin, and some that aren’t. I’m certain that some part of the reason why a lot of stories about animal foodstuffs being bad for us is because it’s becoming harder to feed the meat eaters of 7.7bn humans, so other ways to eat are being emphasised more to sway people away from meat... but some of t will be made up, just like there will be in pro-meat research.
