I'm thinking 12 year olds and BB guns would be cheaper. Take longer, but all around better solution. https://apnews.com/article/mice-isl...ination-ec4f281f396ca49910c359df5b99b64d

Marion Island...
Isn't that the old prison where they kept kumbiya?

A man introduced invasive species.
Thousands of man introduced invasive species of plants and animals all over the world, every continent, probably almost every country.
Penny and her. First husband got some Japanese Honeysuckle in the 80. Given away by the game commission.
The damn stuff chokes out other species of plants and literally forms a small jungle about 7 feet high and thick as heck. I’ve seem it grows 30 feet up a pine tree.
I got rid of some through a lot of work, but in5 years it will be right back if nobody does anything.😒
My point is that it was put there on purpose for decoration. Deer won’t eat it, only goats.
They’re called invasive because they’ll infest the area with no natural predators to check growth.
Mice, I believe originated in Europe and spread over the earth when it was Pangea, the great single continent caused by tectonic activity.
But this island alone, it’s not an invasive species causing a problem, it’s “Globull Warming”. (Thought they had switched to man made climate change?😟)
I recall a story that I read 2 decades ago, but it stuck with me because it points out a modern truth.
A biologist wanted to do a study on the feeding habits of squirrels and such in an area. He applied for a government grant, several times and was as constantly rejected.
So he rewrote his proposal for a government grant to study the feeding habits of squirrels and such “due to global warming “!😀
Guess what,it was approved!
The science is settled. You cannot deny it. There is no debate. 97% of the scientists agree.
That statement stops short of truth but becomes gospel by adding 5 words.😟
97% of the scientists agree WITH WHOEVER IS FUNDING THEM!😀
And my own kid has repeatedly called me a “climate denier”!!!!😀😀😀

But they get 25 million dollars for saying it. And the kickbacks that are inherently attached to government programs.

The global warming is BS but taking non-native species to new places has put a world of hurt on many places. Just here in the US we have cheat grass, starlings, nutria, feral horses, kudzu, collared doves...the list is long.

If you don’t know how Oxygen is Produced you shouldn’t Breathe it ..
That would Clear the Air Considerably..

It’s all about control for the politicians. It’s all about money to the scientific establishment.

The ones in port cities are relatives.

At the 1st moon landing, it was unknown whether there could be life there. NASA went to great lengths to make sure that everything was quarantined in case there was something there that could be brought back by accident.

The climate has been changing forever.
Do you want to live in the ice age?
The "man made" part is what I disagree with. Just mankind over-estimating our importance, I think.
What about Krakatoa, Mt St Helens, Hawaiian volcanos, the large one near Mexico City, etc.?

You know they got more Totalitarian from the Virus than they’ve ever have gotten from Climate Change
That may be why John Kerry left the Climate Czar Totalitarian Position.
