Yeah the British really do have a history of royally fucking over whole eco systems. Brought rabbits to Australia thinking they would be a good food source.

Except they bred like well rabbits. And destroyed whole eco systems. So the British imported foxes to eat the rabbits. Except literally every other native species is easier for a fox to kill than a fast rabbit.

Fucking morons.

That's a bit of a harsh take considering it was one guy on the 19th century who didn't know better. Looking at it he brought 13 rabbits for his private estate - I don't think the science was there for extended Environmental Impact Studies back then - just some rich guy making a minor change to his place having unintended consequences so branding an entire country as fucking morons is a bit much.

Okay. One English guy was a fucking moron with regards to rabbits. Plenty others were morons for other things in Australia.

Awesome, glad that's settled, just a minor blip on what would be Australia's impeccable record of care for both indigenous creatures, and indigenous people.

Should we talk about the English record of care for indigenous people, creatures and artifacts?
