[0] > Should we kill a bunch of cows to make way for native species But we're killing them already, at astonishing quantities. It's enough to not make new ones, the problem will solve itself. > okay when the feral goats in the Galapagos were machine gunned down Maybe don't introduce farm animals where they don't belong? > kill off all the feral cats, or just let them continue killing birds and small mammals Give the birds & mammals a chance to live and procreate, by giving them enough habitat to live in. In time nature will solve the feral cats problems - when bigger predators appear. > Is it okay to spray for mosquitos and ticks No, because you're spraying poisons and killing other species as well, and reducing the human health. That's not practical. But you know, biodiversity is the solution [1]. When you kill predators (owls, foxes, coyottes ...), mice proliferate. More mice, more ticks. Let the mice eating predators return and ticks numbers goes down. Mosquitos? Don't spray poisons and let number of amphibians/fish go up. The problem solved.
