Does this mean we will be eating Soylent Green when all the animals and seakittens are gone?

That's not forced evolution, it's bad wildlife management!

1. The reduced size in the population is caused by cropping off the older trophy animals.

2. The earlier breeding age isn't caused by the animals trying to catch up to man-made evolutionary forces. It's caused by adolescent animals not havng the snot kicked out of them by a mature male because (see 1 above.)

Remove the pressure on the trophy animals and the youngsters will again achieve the large size and the breeding age will increase.

Somewhere in the time between now and when I did my undergrad work "wildlife management" got bastardized to meaning that you only shoot the trophy animals. Those are the old boys you want to have reproducing! If they made it that far and that big, you don't want to select them out of the gene pool.

The only animals that can really keep up with the rate things are changing (man-made or not) climatically are the bugs.
