There is the future suffering of homo sapiens from overpopulation that I have been trying to prevent since 1967. This particular mammal is supposedly intelligent yet depletes key resources and pollutes far beyond the biosphere's ability to absorb. As aquifers run dry and AGW effects get worse, and resources scarcer, the amount of food that can be used for this animal will decrease and its population will crash by 2050. The suffering of years of abject poverty, wars over water, malnutrition and diseases, thievery and cannibalism. Certainly more important than the suffering of lower animals. However, suffering hungry, thirsty, desperate humans will eat just about anything and even drink their own urine. Animal rights come in a distant place on the order of priorities list. Increasing HGHGs to the point of the methane turnover tipping point we are at, being breached is far more important. If HGHGs are not lowered enough in time, it will end in a thermal maximum episode faster than life can adapt. This will be a near 90% of all species ELE. Do you ARs want that?? The most important thing you can do for animals is to reduce your eco-footprint with one or no kids, solar or wind power in a recycled/indigenous materials super insulated home, electric, pedal, or hybrid vehicle, compost including toilet, grow your own food as much as you can and buy locally. Having no pets except the wild animals around you also lowers that footprint. So what are you ARs doing to prevent the coming thermageddon ELE??? What are you doing to mitigate the suffering of the coming human population crash?? You do care about humans, too, don't you???
