Humanity must disappear, says Spanish manifesto
A text signed by Nando el Hispano argues that humanity is a parasitic entity and puts the number of animals slaughtered each year at up to 300 billion. Here is what it says.
A text signed by Nando el Hispano argues that humanity must disappear because it considers it a parasitic entity that is destroying the planet. The text puts the number of animals slaughtered each year at between 100 and 300 billion and presents itself as the work of an ontological dissident.
The idea is not new, but the text circulating these days takes it to an unusual extreme. Its author signs as **Nando el Hispano** and presents himself as the person behind «El Niño Lunar: la imposición de nacer». In the text he claims that the human being is a parasitic entity he calls «La Cosa» (The Thing), and that its passage through the planet destroys everything.
## A thesis of humanity as a plague
The central argument is that human beings act as an alien agent. The text claims that they destroy everything in their path and that wherever they tread, the sand melts. The accusation is not limited to environmental damage: it also points to procreation as an act of hypocrisy, because in his view it condemns innocent consciences to misery, hunger, thirst and perpetual desire.
The author does not present himself as a neutral observer. He defines himself as an ontological dissident and claims that his mission is to carry out what he considers the greatest wish of those innocent consciences: making humanity disappear. It is an extreme position, framed as a philosophical conclusion rather than a concrete political proposal.
## The number of animals slaughtered
The most concrete figure in the text concerns animal slaughter. It claims that humanity is directly or indirectly responsible for the massacre of between **100 and 300 billion** animals every year. It is a wide range, attributed to the author himself and not to any official body, so it should be treated for what it is: an estimate he works with, not a verified statistic.
The text also accuses human beings of having developed disastrous technologies with a single purpose: to perpetuate themselves over time and embark on a space odyssey. According to his thesis, the cosmos will not fill that void, because the material universe offers no way out, no beginning and no end.
## Eternity as a sentence
There is a philosophical twist in the text that deserves attention. The author argues that human beings long for eternity while ignoring the fact that any superior intelligence would know that being eternal means inhabiting absolute hell. The phrase sums up his position: there is no salvation in transcendence, neither in space nor in time.
The text closes with a harsh image: a metastasis is not stopped by injecting it with more glucose. It is a way of saying that, in his view, the problem is not solved with more technology or more growth. The conclusion is the disappearance of the species. It is an extreme thesis, framed as a manifesto, and that is how it should be read.

Chinese women migrate to the cities, leaving villages full of single men. A phenomenon that recalls the bachelors of Plan, a village in the Spanish Pyrenees.
