No one has defended the arrival of invasive species! But it happens and it is going to happen weather you like it or not....You can not put a wall around the islands....I just get a kick out of the hypocrisy and arguing over what to do. Don't fool yourself we have little control....Everyone keeps avoiding the real question is there such a thing as invasive species, and who gets to decide? When I was a kid growing up in Newport Beach, CA we hated the kids that came to surf in "our" Ocean...it was "our territory"...It is the same thing... My point is that we share the planet, and as it has been from the beginning, all species compete for survival. What upsets me is that some species get elevated status. (Like when General Motors got a bailout..what made them so special?) It also seems as though Humans ARE THE PROBLEM!!
The people that talk about all the problems (and that is about all they do) it allows them to feel good about themselves because they are "saving the planet" If this really was about saving certain species, the govt. would be transplanting endangered species to other places on the planet to ensure their fighting chance at survival or supporti breeding programs so the species could be used as food, pet, or landscape.......
If you believe in evolution than the planet started with one life form and now here we are 5 to 100 million species on the planet, but science has only identified about 2 million....If you believe in GOD, than we have no control and all we need to do the best we can, and not get caught up in all the panic and drama about what to do. Either way nature has a way of doing and end run around mankind, and in the big picture... we are just a blip in the timeline of this planet........
