    The problem is more and more people adopt “tradition”, which leads to more and more people killing animals for food or “sport”, more people doing it and more mouths to feed. And yet, if human population is ever mentioned, the speaker will be accused of wanting euthanasia and genocide.

    We will never solve problems if we don’t address the source of them. That’s “source” singular, not “sources” plural.
