"Surviving, Castiel? Millions starve to death each day, die from lack of drinking water, from illness - nothing which they couldn't manage, if they tried, if hunters hadn't wiped out so many of the species which prey on them. Instead they wage war on each other for population control. How many have there been in the last century alone? And it's only going to get worse. Dean broke the first Seal, Castiel - look what even the righteous are willing to do. They are suffering, they are in pain. Leaving them to flounder? It's cruelty."
