The pope needs more than sacrements: he needs the surplus of countless other species. Why is human surplus sacred?

The Pope rightly eschews luxury and eats very simply. However, to consume anything is a direct contradiction of the religious anathema of contraception. We see nothing wrong with consuming the surplus of any other species that may be useful to us. What then is so wrong with controlling by contraception the natural and devastating surplus of humans?
