Any living creature will eat up all the resources. Rabbits, deer, rats... because they can't farm. It's one of the main arguments for hunting and extermination they'd starve anyway, so lets eat em.
I heard 25,000 people a day die of starvation. Humans have run themselves out of resources before. Easter Island was it? The Romans did a pretty good job chopping down everything in sight for war/housing materials. However, I don't think stripping resources would happen in modern times. What would be more likely, is sudden disasters that wipe out whole crops. Or diseases that kill off all the dogs, and allow primates to be domesticated for simple household chores.
