      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.

      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.

      Were they discussing the fish or Chinese people? Just because they don’t like the fish doesn’t make it sinophobia.

      Aren’t those supposed to be surprisingly tasty + a potential new industry if we can get restaurants to start serving them?
