This is just an arbitrary human whim that goes against nature.
That's not to say we shouldn't try to control where animals do or do not live.
But do not fool yourself into thinking that removing 'invasive' species is anything other than human avarice.
The natural order is for anything to live anywhere it can (like we do).
- colanderman 10y agoThe "natural order" (whatever that means) is for species migration to take place over the course of thousands of years, not an overnight plane ride.
- macintux 10y agoWe caused most of the current problem in this area, so it's not entirely "natural". Of course life spreads wherever it can, but we actively pushed it into places faster than local flora and fauna could adjust to it.
- michaelmrose 10y agoIn order to analyze something we need to define what variables or aspects we care about and we then can see it in that context. Natural means nothing in any context. It is entirely free of meaningful content. To argue otherwise involves imagining there is a schism at some point between what is natural and not despite everything including intelligence and tool use is part of the natural world.
