I think it's fine to kill invasive species, just because it's going to get worse doesn't mean you just give up.
Those invasive species are going to lead to the death of native species, and when that doom spiral happens you've really gone and fucked the ecosystem.
Same logic behind eating invasive Asian carp; if you don't kill it it will kill a native species.
These animals are just existing.
Claiming we have a right to murder them for being in the wrong place is cruel - they have only spread there as a result of humanity.
Do we have a right to eradicate humanity in turn?
Humans can change their behavior and protect nature. Other invasive species cannot.
So we have a right to murder innocent animals because we, the most destructive species in history, have deemed them āinvasiveā?
Invasive species will lead to ecosystems being further destroyed. do you have any fuckin clue what you're talking about?
Itās a moral consideration this isnāt a fucking logic problem.
I donāt value ecosystems, but I do value animal lives. Unsure how I could be wrong about that on a moral level.
If a pack of dogs was loose in a forest; I would not kill the dogs, for example.
Don't be silly. All moral considerations are logic problems. Theory without praxis is immaterial at best and concern trolling at worst.
And ecosystems are made up of a sum of lives, animal and otherwise. Their collapse inherently kills animals. There is no moral superiority in allowing deaths by inaction.
If the pack of wild dogs was eating every single deer and you wouldn't kill the dogs, you do not value animal lives.
Do we have the right to stop a forest fire simply because we deem it dangerous?
Having the same moral value for a fire and living creature is wrong.
You can do a million things other than kill them to fix the problemā¦ but killing them is cheapest, so thatās whatās done.
I mean I'm not gonna kill myself because a few billionaires fucked the environment.
I feel like blaming the whole human species for ecosystem collapse and climate change isn't fair since we've existed for millennia, and the world was fine then.
"The industrial revolution and its consequences", not "the human species and its consequences"
