Do we allow Mink to proliferate in Britain or cull them ? Do we remove Hedgehogs from the Western Isles or leave them there ? Do we leave Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotweed to proliferate ? Etc etc etc.<br /><br />You mention Deer. What do we do about Deer, introduced or otherwise, which proliferate and impact on other species because we have wiped out their predators ? <br /><br />Nice rant but mankind cannot progress on rant alone. What's your solution to problematic introduced species ? <br /><br />And where does this 'Many of these people profess to be Atheists' come from ? Have you conducted some sort of survey into the belief systems (or lack of), of people who support the control of problematical species or allow their dogs to worry Greylags (how do Theists rate and do Buddhists rate lower than Muslims and Christians etc), or are you trying to make some sort of religious point ?Johnny Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813595892668155345noreply@blogger.com
