"Well, that's was not the case with H.R. 669, the Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act. I know at least 2 of those groups (who I USED to support) Were for this bill, and are for for banning ALL imported exotic pets. "



Unfortunately true-the first time the humaniacs have found common ground with the mainstream environmentalists-and the scientists. And also, in my view understandable. Like it or not, invasives cause untold damage to ecosystems in this country, and we'll get nowhere by denying this. Biologists are deeply worried about invasives, and they are going to insist that something be done.



But the mainstreams and the scientists, unlike AR groups, will listen and accept sound, science-based compromise. At least we'd better hope so-if not, we have no chance.
