Ik. (don’t shoot them! That’s so mean, it’s not their fault they are just trying to gather food lol!) There are hundreds … maybe thousands of non-native species in the US hurting the native species. I really don’t like breeders of exotics, they’re a big part of the issue.
humans become detrimental to species in places we over-procreate, or just exist, too, frankly. We’re no better as a whole.
