Sentimentalising Is Anathema, As Far As I Am Concerned. It Leads You Into Ethical Problems About Violence And Killing And Eating Meat. The Whole World Becomes Topsy-survy If You Impose Moralities That Were Evolved Within Human Society On What A Blowfly Or What A Parasite Does... There Are Lots Of Emotions You Can Deduce From An Animal's Behaviour That Are Correct, But When You Start Saying It's Feeling Guilty Or Thinking Or A Loved One Or Mourning, You Must Be Very Careful Of Those Feelings.

The Only Acceptable Way To Solve Ecological Problems Is If You Can Persuade People To Have Fewer Children. In The Victorian Times, There Were Families Of 15 Children. Someone Like Edward Lear, He Was The Last Of 21 Children. And So What We Have To Think About Is Offering People The Alternative Choice. And In The West, That's What's Happening. The Birth Rate Has Been Dropping Steadily And Still Is. I'm Wanting Human Beings To Be Better Off So They Don't View Children As An Insurance For The Future.
