Dead on, Paul Burke. Great post.

Mother Nature has her way of bringing balance back in the equation. Mankind, in its arrogance, thinks it is smarter. As time will show, indeed as it is already showing, that is foolish and will have horrific results for our children, as well as the creatures of the earth.

As pointed out above, it is about stewardship.

And all these things I give to you to keep and to protect
From the greatest of the big sperm whales to the tiniest insect
To rule with love and kindness the weak, the wild, the strong
And treat My creatures gently only you know right from wrong
