Cats, dogs....I think humans are the biggest problem.

If you love nature there is no better common denominator than Homo sapiens sapiens being responsible for countless extinctions. Not cats, not dogs not any so called invasive species that is not invasive at all. It invaded nothing, it was kidnapped and brought to a place. They just fend for themselves. In research I have seen in the UK cats are rarely responsible for killing birds and chicks. They to the surprise of the researchers and owners went for the easiest meal: the neighbours cats food....I wonder ow well this is researched in New Zealand because in general in ecology prejudice and subjectiveness runs amoc, objectivity and coming with solid evidence and facts is scarce.

A lot of species have come to many parts of the world with Homo sapiens sapiens as a vector. There is no objective reason to exclude this species as a vector. Just preference and to my mind an ultra conservative way of thinking in which all that was needs to remain and is better than everything that is new. Which reminds me a lot of how humans act when it comes to human immigrants...
