Okay but also, humans caused this mess in the first place. Pet trade, people dumping exotic animals… maybe the focus should be on stopping the source rather than only reacting to the effects. Eradication is reactive; prevention is proactive.
Yeah Charlotte, totally. Prevention is key. But I think a hybrid approach works best: remove the biggest offenders while educating the public to avoid future problems. Otherwise we’re just chasing the same issues over and over.
