As a member of an invasive species myself, I feel offended
Found the Br*tish person.
Humans are the ultimate invasive species. In fact, the majority of invasive species origins in a biome can be traced back to human activity.
Not being eco-fash, just pointing out that we can’t exploit the land to a maximum degree and then hoist the blame onto bugs, cats and carp.
When animals invade without the “help” of humans, it happens in a very different speed which the ecosystem can adapt to.
And even tho I made the joke, I wouldn’t say humans are the problem. Humans lived more or less “in harmony” with nature and then came colonialism and capitalism. Humans are capable of living differently, the market is not.
Humans eradicated species of animals long before even the medieval ages.
It’s just a thing humans do.
Yes, but never on an ecosystem endangering scale. Species go extinct, that’s what happens in nature all the time and humans were the cause in history and prehistory. But never on the scale of today.
If you have the mega fauna in mind: it’s very debated how big of an impact the humans had. There are different factors at play for sure, like changing climate. Was it really humanity that made the woollen mammoth go extinct at the end of the ice age?
I’m a zebra mussel as well
Humans on their way to catalyze untold suffering due to their inability to comprehend externalities
We’ve fucked up every ecosystem there is and are looking for ways to fuck places that don’t even have them. Humans are the worst.
Like… humans?
I heard some libs doing a sinophobia at all the DISGUSTING CHINESE CARP ruining the great lakes, as if Xi himself trained a flotilla of carp to destroy lake michigan
Were they discussing the fish or Chinese people? Just because they don’t like the fish doesn’t make it sinophobia.
