"I believe that everyone should have a right to harvest their fair share of that surplus."



If a species is exceptionally good at keeping themselves going, how does that automatically give us the right to go start taking them with wild abandon, kill them for useless things, sell them, harvest them, and or ranch them? We get no "fair share" of any other living creature on earth, or any other planet. Look at the food industry, keeping all these animals for the sole purpose of taking a third of it, and throwing the rest away! Which wouldn't be AS devastating, if they didn't keep only what they need! You said that we could take as many of the "introduced species" that we want. If you think about it, a lot of the species living in the US are "introduced", so that would mean that we could go around with a gun, and randomly shoot anything that moves? Domestic cats and dogs are introduced species. You can't honestly believe that all the pet farms are good for the animals, and you would essentially be doing the same thing to the rest. But i forgot, you're not thinking of the animals best interest, all you're concerned about is how big your profit is gonna be.
