Yes, bringing in invasive species was defended. Heck, you're defending it now. Since we've been aware here of what can go wrong there has been a great deal of effort to keep the "problems" out. That effort has been successful enough to keep out snakes, poisonous plants, and rabies to name a few of the big ones. This isn't Newport Beach or any other place on the Mainland US or the Mainland anywhere for that matter. This place, this island IS special. If we try to cling to what we have left that is special how is that wrong? How is it anything but good? According to you we should just give up now and live as if we are in LA. Me, I'd rather be dead. Seriously.
The wild pigs were destroying the delicate eco system of the park. A fence was put up and certain flora is coming back to life. Take the fence down and we go backwards. The same can be said of the whole Island. To repeat myself: Anyone who knowingly brings in an invasive species should be given huge fines and jail time as a deterrent to anyone else who is thinking the same thing. Before you get your panties in a bunch, 808, if I see it, I'll be the first to detain that person. Anyone who condones bringing in species that do not belong here is just plain nuts and I hate to say it like this, but Go back where you came from because I know you're not from here.
