Anyone in volcano see the guava infected yet?
#21
My gripe lies with the govt introducing something that is going to directly affect my land, and my wallet. This is the part I dont like. Yes, that's great if they want to clean up the volcano nat'l forest etc. but these insects dont discriminate.
The other issue that I have is the difficulties that our islands will have feeding ourselves in the event of a catastrophe. I personally know of entire families that rely upon the wild pigs for a regular source of free food. And I dont want any "hatemail" regarding my "perceived racism" but I even had a kid ask me "do you eat dog"? And then tell me the story about how his uncle was hungry and ate the family dog. Yes, there are food stamps, and yes, there is the food bank, but I still see people relying on other food sources. It is possible that without so many wild pigs and with more open grassy areas available for grazing -that the goats or whatever, will just reproduce more and then be eaten. I dont know.
It's all just such a wildcard to mess with an established ecosystem. I also do understand that the straw guava is really aggresive and problematic a lot of the time.
