Africans, Indigenous tribes of the Americas all lived in harmony with nature and its animals. It was Europeans who hunted for sport and not for food and had zoos.Absolutely true and it is because their culture informs them that everything on the Earth belongs to them and is here for their use. The European mind looks at the Earth as something subordinate to it rather than vice versa.
Are you a Florida native?Many areas, Florida number one of all, have invasive species that are destroying the ecology.
There an estimated 300k Burmese pythons in Florida. Over 20,000 giant Iquanas are in Florida. 79,000 Tegu lizards were imported in America but no one knows how many have escaped into the wild. But there are 1000s .
There are an estimated 9 million feral, wild hogs in 40 states in America.
None of these animals are native to America. How did they get here? White folks. The pythons and iguanas initially as pets that got released. There are also all kinds of animals, reptiles, plants, amphibians, a long list that are not native to America that were brought to America by white folks, sometimes accidentally on shipping containers that weren't properly screened.
Here is a list: Invasive Species Profiles List | National Invasive Species Information Center
It's ticking time bomb. Florida is f*cked. The pythons have eliminated many domestic animals. The iquanas are huge and everywhere and burrow wholes that have severely damaged roads, bridges, sewage pipelines.
Some of these could mess up the ecology so bad in time, we may not be able to live in some parts of America.

No, but have family all over the state and have been there countless times. I've heard of people (all white) who get paid to reduce the iquana population at certain businesses like golf courses. So, I'm happy to hear some of us are getting into that business, not that it will help reduce the numbers of the invasive reptiles.Are you a Florida native?
Truly amazing article and although it is sad, it's a lucrative business which my son is endeavoring on as an entrepreneur. He has an organization that he has started up Criter Gitters of Key West It is landscaping and wildlife rescue/ removal service... My brother also assist in the python round up once a year which makes pretty good money doing in the Everglades...

Great post and I think people overlook how symbiotic of a relationship all of nature has. When one link in the chain is destroyed it all starts to fall apart. Maybe it may be able to sustain with the changes but it's not guaranteed. For instance, the snakes could be killing species that keep certain insects populations low which allows the fauna to grow. With out the regulating species there you can see spikes in insect populations that are feasting on the flora at will. Now you have certain flora dying off which could let's say have an impact on bees. If the bees die then so goes everything. I'm making this all up but it's not a good look at all.Many areas, Florida number one of all, have invasive species that are destroying the ecology.

The ecological harm caused by Irresponsible & Arrogant A$$ WS in the state of Florida is devastating. Pets released into the wild when they no longer have a fondness for those creatures. And that Asian buffer class whom I believe is responsible for that crazy ass “walk on land” fish that was first introduced into Florida waterways and now that monstrosity has emerged in numerous areas far removed from Florida. WS & their flunkies fv<k up everything.🤮White folks in Australia brought over 28 rabbits over a hundred years ago and now they have an estimated 200 million wild rabbits causing havoc.
and 1-5 million feral cats look just like a regular cat but these can't be domesticated ever again.
