First duty when making a new country is to remove any animals that

When you do that you are overrun by animals that compete with you for
food. We need predators.

Agreed, it causes more problems than it solves to eradicate them.

Anything that can kill a human should not exist in the wild.

Why do Americans allow these dodgy neighbourhoods to be created?


Why do Brits allow your dodgy neighborhoods to be created?

It is just what happens when all of the decent people move away.

Nobody with any sense lives in Glasgow. It's an overcrowded ******** like London.

The people in New Zealand were so good at eliminating predators that

in an attempt to save a few of their native species from them.

Shoot the stoats.

Then they'll be overun with rats and mice/rabbits etc etc etc.

Mouse traps are pretty cheap.


Just look what problems that eradicating all of the wolves caused in
Yellowstone Park.
All Americans will know about how that played out, I'm sure they will
agree with me.

They reintroduced the wolves and the eco system slowly returned to a
normal balance again.

I doubt Will can even comprehend Yellowstone park. The park itself and
the national forests around it are about half the size of Scotland.

I've met bears ans mountain lions on occasion. I enjoy seeing them in
their natural settings rather than confined in a zoo. Oddly, I'm still
alive. There are also wolves around this area although I've never been
lucky enough to see them.

You've watched too many Attenborough films. The most common species, the
black bear, isn't much of a fisherman. Even the brown bears in this
state aren't big fish eaters with the exception of the Yellowstone bears
that have easy access to the spawning cutthroat trout.

Well whatever they're eating you can eat instead. Do something useful
with all those guns.


Beetles, grubs, insects, and carrion do not appeal to me. I do share the

there are plenty to go around.
