NOTE: i am in no way saying carrying invasive species around isn’t bad/harmful! it very much is a big issue. i am just a bit lost on how humans (being animals) are doing “incorrect” unnatural things since we are natural(compared to other living things who don’t necessarily harm their environment)
okay, so i don’t really understand the whole invasive species thing. when humans carry plants/animals to different regions and they start rapidly growing there, why do we need to get rid of them? humans are animals as well (great apes), and a way that seeds/eggs spread is by grabbing onto other animals as they travel. so why is it different when people do it? i’m just confused

Ok, the thing to recognize is that you cannot treat the activity of humans as that of just yet another animal. We are uniquely powerful and effect change on a scale and speed utterly unprecedented in nature. We are uniquely powerful, and thus uniquely responsible. It makes sense to differentiate the activities of humans from those of the rest of the animal world. Yes, we’re domesticated apes, but we’re _special_ domesticated apes.
