I should probably let this topic die a natural (?) death - But something
seems to have been overlooked.  Assuming they couldn't find an adequate
butcher nearer home, taking only enough humans for breeding poses its own
problems.  Raising cattle (bovine, human, rabbit, or otherwise) not only
takes a lot of space - but you you also have to feed them - and the whole
point was that the aliens were short of food.  (Now if humans were a
gourmet item and not a staple - that would change things.
