I don't think anyone thinks that this many is ok. Its been well publicised by Sage that they will be targeted back to 10,000.
Ive heard gossip about a target of elimination by Sage, but have never seen that recorded as a fact. I would personally be happy with a greatly reduced population back to near the 10,000. So a 30,000 cull is not outside the ball-park.
