It's just that it's possible to have too much of a good thing; even too much of the best thing. Overpopulation is like dieting: you don't have to burn off calories that you never consume to begin with, and you don't have to "figure out" what do to with people who never existed to begin with. And if there were a widespread movement to have zero children or one child, the potential adoptees would probably not have to sit in orphanages and other situations like that for very long, I hope.

Also "yes" to the cats!!! Cats are magic. Dogs are also magic. Animals are wonderful, in general. Except maybe some insects...

Agreed as to the thoughts on children. I've had somewhat similar ones myself.
As to cats: unleashed cats are indeed dangerous to wildlife. And they should be as they are predators. That's their nature and one of the reasons that I say bless their savage hearts. I love cats. It'd truly be a sad day for me to see their nature change more that it already has. Symbiotic, but still wild. I don't believe that they feel anything like human love, but they can be "affectionate" in their sensuality.
Humans in cars, particularly those that are uncaring, careless and/or needlessly cruel are a danger and not only to our cats.
