zeb said: heaven. My words exactly. Ever had anything to do with decaying animals?
Yes I have. Even a dead mouse stinks to the point of gagging. Billions of rotting corpses are going to cause, not only a stench that would be unbearable, but a rash of diseases that would kill more people.
Edited to add:
I found this baby raccoon dead beside my house 3 years ago. It had been deceased 1-2 days. It was already starting to reek.
