Baoh said:Only if determined to be injurious and such, though, yes?
Once again....who determines this? Not anyone (or group of persons) who
a.) has the adequate knowledge of the particular taxon in question,
b.) can make a fair, unbiased assessment of the economic impact of making said taxon injurious,
c.) can make a fair, unbiased assessment of the ecological impact of making said taxon injurious,
d.) can make a fair, unbiased assessment of the potential threat/harm to human life/public safety
e.) is not influenced by any other outside agency/organization/person(s)
You (and by "you", I'm not directing the question personally, but rhetorically to anyone) find someone who can meet all of that criteria, and I probably wouldn't be so concerned. But its been proven before: they can and will spin the facts however they want to if they have reason enough to believe a certain taxon warrants being determined injurious.
They did it with the federal rule listing on March 23. They just did it in Ohio. They will do it again.
