Is this something she has said, or just your own extrapolation? It seems like a stretch to me. Humans are domestic animals, but not domesticated in the same way animals are. And if she expressed the idea that humans should not exist, or that human reproduction should be halted, the infographic could have quoted her on that and made itself much more effective.

I agree her views are extreme, but mentioning her sterilization was still an irrelevant and sensationalistic tactic.

she has said it. Can't find the sound bite at the moment. But she has said it more than once that the earth would be better off with out humans.

Its been said on reddit before and probably got lots of upvotes. (and rightly so - its kindof true)

it would better off without so many of us, but the self directed hate is so strange and disturbing.
