So let's see... if you break your arm, you won't treat the infected cut on your leg.. even if it's getting worse without treatment.. because your arm is broke? Do I have your logic down pat? Just because humans cause a lot of issues, and disturb the environment doesn't mean you shouldn't fix other issues like introduced species.
When you figure out how to stop humans from having any affect on any environment, while feeding and housing all of US, you let me know.
Get off your duff and try to fix the issues. Whining that people made it happen doesn't fix a darned thing. Humans aren't invasive, we're pervasive. We're everywhere, and there's no way to eliminate all humans.
Burms don't belong in the everglades. Removing them is the right thing to do for the ecology of the swamp. Removing them is also the right thing to do for the PR of herp hobbiests. Just because I love dogs doesn't mean I won't tell someone to put down a vicious one. Just because I love snakes doesn't mean I'll sacrifice the entire everglades and any native species to prevent feral burmese from being euthanized.
If burmese reach the keys, we could lose the Key deer population. I'd like to keep the Key deer. I like the useless little buggers.
