How bizarre! Why don't they use use nuclear weapons instead? Usually you'll use a predator to decimate an animal population gone out of control.


I agree, predators could be useful; although, that might disrupt the balance yet again...


Which is precisely what has happened in the past.

Also, it's not an air strike. They plan to shoot the animals with rifles, not drop bombs on them.


I doubt that they will shoot 650 thousands of them with rifles.
