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?
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.
