They don't really have a place in the ecosystem so I don't see that as being much of a problem. And I guess they would turn into pests as King mentioned.
What really should be looked at is calorie per land area. I don't have the facts in front of me, but I was told meat vs plant is roughly 9:1. As developing countries shift to a more meat heavy american style diet, the land needed to produce food skyrockets (since the population there is as well). The only solution is to cut down more forrest land for farming, or just go vegetarian.
