Thread: Animals vs. Humans

If it's not overpopulation, what is it? We are encroaching on the land of big game and these creatures are getting used to living along side of us. Since we are so close to wild predators, confrontations are inevitable. The probability of attacks on humans is mostly weighed upon the circumstances that an animal is presented with. I.E. How much/how easy is food to get in the area it's living in? Is the creature defending itself/its young? Is the animal just simply taking advantage of a lucky hunting opportunity?

No one is to blame for attacks, they just happen.

I wonder if it is true..have people use animals for themselves, instead of helping the animals like they paid to do. What happen to this world, I thought animals and humans are suppose to bond and make peace but I guess that was just a dream for me. Will the animals fight back against the hatred of humans...or will humans continue to to treat kind and scared animals as pest??

animals kills animals, it's part of the order of life itself. mankind are still animals, genetically speaking and there's nothing wrong with that since it's natural. and by looking at the big picture, evetually all sorts of beings will evetually be extinct and will be replaced by another superior type. ones that are capable of lasting longer than the other one. like what jurrasic park said, "life will find a way."

they will probably lead to a lot more of extinctions until we just have the cockroaches left that can bother us

The more people procreate, the more housing they need... And the more habits will be invaded.

When you build housing developments in the middle of a bear habitat, of course there will be attacks. They are just defending their territory, and since their habitat is being messed up, they are in search of food as well. A human garbage can is a smorgasbord.

There is a kid that lives up the road from my parent's house that got attacked by coyotes in broad daylight. Sorry - But you live in the woods, be prepared to encounter wild animals. If you can't deal with that go live in the city.

Many animals are evolving (although it's very slowly and most of the time unnoticeable to us) in order to cope with environment changes... Including humans moving in their territory, and most of the time destroying it.

I doubt that.

There is plenty of land preserved and precautions are taken to make sure that we don't destroy a species completely.

We are animals. But the clashing is simply because these animals are supposed to be here and they are being pushed, that is all. Fights are inevitable. It would be cool if there were more cities that co-existed with nature, and only built what they need. When it comes to animals it is called extinction.
