Live and Let die is 21st Century view
Susan Chapple (Your Say, August 16) says that humans have no right to cull magpies or
seagulls.
Live and let live sounds like a wonderful philosophy, but a few months ago she
said that the world is overpopulated so women should be forbidden to have more than two
children.
At the time, I was too busy to respond, but I disagree with her on both issues because
humans have an inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Wildlife does not.
Regardless of her opinions or mine, a few moments thought about babies
in the womb shows that the dominant philosophy of 21st century society is live and let die.
