Enough people? Oh, there's plenty more room for people.

It's all of the cats we have to worry about. After all, what else do we do with all of the fish we harvest?

Apart from turning it into cat food, we use it as land fertilizer...

But some rely on it for everyday portion of proteins!
So for them, we should preserve the reserves.
