I just learned something new.
The Nazis where apparently environmentalists and
concerned with animal rights.
A law imposing total ban on vivisection was enacted in August 16, 1933, by Hermann Göring as the prime minister of Prussia.[11] He announced to end the "unbearable torture and suffering in animal experiments" and told that those who "still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property" will be sent to concentration camps.
Goering also banned commercial animal trapping, imposed severe restrictions on hunting, and regulated the shoeing of horses. He imposed regulations even on the boiling of lobsters and crabs. In one incident, he sent a fisherman to concentration camp[12] for cutting up a bait frog.[10]
The animal protection laws made by the Nazis were the strictest in the history. Conservation zones were established all over the country for the protection of endangered species. Lithuania and major parts of Ukraine were outlined for afforestation into their natural state as soon as their population was destroyed. Nazi Germany was the first in the world to place the wolf under protection.
he views of Nazi Germany on protection of animals often came up within some far right-wing political parties.[18] Support for animal welfare is seen among neo-fascists[26] and many have observed there are affinities between neo-fascism and some ecocentric ideas.[27] There has been the Green Nazi phenomenon in the United States. The famous speech by Hermann Göring on prohibition of vivisection is found on some neo-Nazi websites.[18] The Nazi efforts on animal protection have some influence on Finnish radical deep ecologist Pentti Linkola
Suddenly I feel a bit concerned by some of my fellow environmentalists calls for reducing the human population for the Earth's sake.
But overpopulation isn't in my future. 
"depopulating" the Ukraine?
