Question: There is a problem with predators that can attack people. In some countries, they are totally exterminated, sometimes in an inhumane way. There is also a problem with the animals that were brought to the places where they did not originally live, for example, in Australia. But they are also destroyed en masse by the excuse that they cause harm. Are such actions justified by any necessity?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 Kazakhstan Conference.
Well, as we have explained before, there are many animal species that are not natural on earth. In fact, you could say that virtually all of the current animal species are not natural in a sense that they did not exist when the earth was still a natural planet. Many of the animal species are very much affected by the collective consciousness. They are, so to speak, a product of the collective consciousness. Most of the current animal species will actually disappear as we move into the golden age. This is clearly shocking to many people because there are many spiritual people and many environmentally conscious people who find it necessary to preserve the “natural species”, as they call them.
But again, you need to look at what kind of a planet you are on and ask yourself if parasites that invade both human and animal bodies are really natural, if poisonous animals and insects are really natural, if animals that carry disease and spread it to other animal populations or human populations, if that is really natural. You can clearly realize that some things are not natural and there will come a point, as we move into the golden age, where predators will disappear.
Predators became necessary because of the imbalance in the collective consciousness of humankind that has created imbalances in nature. This means that there are certain animal species that are well adapted to their environment and there will be a certain phase where they grow almost uncontrollably, and then suddenly the population crashes and tens of thousands of animals die from starvation. In order to balance this cycle, predators evolved to give a certain natural balance of the number of a certain species. But of course, humankind also has as part of its responsibility to go in and become a balancing factor, that you do not allow an animal population to become so big that it will crash from either starvation or disease or both.
You could say that the biggest challenge of predators is that human beings need to recognize that they are a balancing factor and that human beings have a responsibility to be such a balancing factor to compensate for the imbalances that humankind has created.
Naturally, as countries become more developed, have more developed agriculture, a larger population, these large predators, such as wolves, cannot really exist in these countries. They can exist there, but it certainly is not natural.
The challenge is to realize that you cannot look back to a situation and say: “500 years ago there was a wolf population in Denmark”, for example. Now there was a period where, not quite a couple of hundred years ago, wolves became extinct in Denmark and since then there have not been any. But in the last 10 years wolves have started coming in from Germany and establishing a population that is breeding. You cannot look back and say what was there 500 years ago was natural, and therefore we should allow wolves to re-establish a population because this is natural.
You need to recognize that compared to 500 years ago the population has grown, agriculture has changed, so many things have changed in the country that when you look at current conditions you cannot say that a wolf population is natural. It is actually unnatural given the current conditions. However, this requires you to step back and realize that the fallen beings have influenced the environmental movement so they want to say that any change created by humans is unnatural and only conditions not affected by humans are natural.
But as we have explained, the planet only exists for the growth of human beings. If there were no human beings on the planet there would be no point whatsoever in having animal populations. Human beings are an inevitable, inescapable, and in fact, natural part of life on earth. You cannot say that any change created by humans is unnatural. The current conditions affected by humans are now the natural conditions and therefore it is not natural to have wolves or saber-toothed tigers in these densely populated nations.
Again, in terms of species that have been introduced on continents where they do not normally live, you can say: “Is this necessarily unnatural?” But you can of course look at these populations and say because there are no natural predators, they can reach these very high population numbers that eventually causes them to crash. If human beings have introduced them in a certain environment, they have a responsibility to manage the population and prevent these unbalanced swings.
You can, of course, also say that the Australian people and government have a right to decide that we do not want camels or rabbits roaming free on our continent because it has various negative effects. And then you have a right to say: “Well, we can then attempt to exterminate them even though it is probably not a realistic scenario to do this. But we can at least limit the population so it can have some kind of balance.”
Again, these are difficult questions, but the only real solution is a raising of consciousness where people realize, first of all, human beings are a natural part of life on earth. And you cannot say that what human beings are doing is necessarily unnatural. You can, of course, start to look at human behavior and say certain forms of human behavior are not natural, are not humane, they are not humane towards humans, not humane towards animals and therefore they need to be changed. But this is again a process that will be ongoing as we move further into the golden age. And many refinements will happen as the collective consciousness is raised.
