In what world did it make sense for the CCP to kill all the sparrows?
- tetris11 4y agoNot a fantastic comparison. They were acting on the best information they had at the time. No one knew how important sparrows were to keeping locust populations down.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoIs it actually true that no one knew that? Or just that Mao didn't know (or didn't care because he thought it was important to bend nature to his will)? Did people not realize that sparrows at bugs until the 1960s?
