Human Population Surpasses 6.5 Billion; Other Species Protest

The dramatic increase in human population during the past century has resulted in humans encroaching more and more on the habitat of other animals. Until now, the other animals have continued to inhabit the forests, oceans, and skies without taking offense.

Now it appears they’ve had enough. To express their displeasure, they recently mounted demonstrations worldwide, emerging from forests with placards, flopping onto beaches rambunctiously, and unduly squawking in urban parks.

In New York’s Catskill Mountains, raccoons, deer, coyotes, and black bears, along with assorted other denizens of deep woods, marched along the Interstate highway, waving signs that read, “Woods For Wildlife!” and “Ban Human Procreation!”

Similar demonstrations were carried out by wildlife in England, France, Rome, and other crowded nations around the world.

Overall, the demonstrations were peaceful, although police did have to restrain a number of overly eager hunters, fishermen, and birdwatchers.

When the demonstrations concluded, the animals headed returned to their usual habitats, chanting, “Keep squeezing us out, and we’ll be back out!”
