>>The truth is that HABITAT DESTRUCTION caused the decline of these endangered rodents. Predators like dogs, raccoons, black rats, cats, and pythons are ADDING to the problem -- but they did not CAUSE it.

I understand why one would complain about dogs, cats, pythons and rats. But now we lump a NATIVE SPECIES in too? RACCOONS! Does this argue for the extinction of coons so we can protect wood rats? Do coons even kill woodrats? I'll bet woodrats also have nematodes in their gut. If this is true we need to eradicate all other species hosting this nematode so we can save the woodrat.

Frankly if coons, cats and rats are indeed a problem, Burmese pythons are a good solution to that problem.

Get in your wayback machine and visit key west 1000 years ago. If raccoons are preying on woodrats now, they were doing it then. So now we argue over natural processes.
