I think you seem to have this idea in your head that overpopulation isn't a reality, and a problem. Most people are unsuitable for breeding, and if they didn't, it wouldn't hurt humanity. There are literally billions of people on this earth. Billions. If the population was curbed just a little, there'd hardly be a discernible difference. There are people in this world who are so silly that they react to the idea that some people don't want to breed, by saying "ARE YER TRYIN TAH KILL HOOMANITY??!" ... siiiiigh.

You choosing not to breed isn't curing the overpopulation problem. So, I don't know why you are leaning on it so hard. Similar to the bolded statement but on the other side of the coin.
If you look at the stats, people are actually waiting later in life to procreate and the numbers have been going down over the years.
Also not all children are monsters that don't know how to act around animals. I go back to your own personal experience with your kitty as a kid. Were you a monster around it? Did your parents hold your hand and teach you how to act appropriately around animals? There are some children that are born to be animal lovers just like you.
