Greetings Yet Again

The vigorous defense of introduced species is the result of previous unbridled assaults on introduced species as being evil and utterly without value, worthy of utter and complete elimination.

This sounds extreme, but look through Tweeters archives.

While these assaults have taken place, I think a lot of folks have been afraid to speak out, as saying that an introduced species is valuable is definitely not politically correct.

Again, I am not saying that we introduce more species or not eradicate introduced species in certain circumstances. I am saying that the knee-jerk tendency to remove all introduced species wherever found can be actually harmful to our current ecological realities.

Best Wishes
