De hechos tenemos cientos de miles de niños en centros de acogida a los que nadie mira, mientras perdemos la cabeza por cuidar gatos abandonados. Lo último es hacerse vegano para no tener que matar animales ni utilizarlos de ninguna forma, ¡ni molestarlos! Finalmente hay quien ha decidido no tener descendencia para no presionar más a la madre naturaleza. ¿Sería mejor vivir en un planeta con menos humanos y más animales? ¿Es preferible el mundo sin gente?
