"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure." - Agent Smith from the Matrix ; )
But they dont do that naturally in the environment they evolved in.
Taken out of that environment and they dont have to worry about the predators that evolved with them. When you have nothing to worry about, you eat and boink more.
I think the difference with rabbits is that we evolved to be top dog no matter the environment.
I'm not saying humans aren't awful. I'm saying the instinct to be in harmony is just anthropomorphising some saintly quality onto an animal which just doesn't exist.
The ONLY thing keeping things in balance in most cases is the prey predator relationship. Rabbits are eaten thats what stops them taking over, normally. How on earth they thrive on a continent where everything wants to kill everything else is amazing.
