I've always had a soft spot for Sugar Gliders....
I agree with every word you say Catherine. What right have we got to go about killing something when we were the ones to upset the balance in the first place -with no foresight? Couldn't someone have figured that out?? Or at least intuited something about introducing species to an area?
Sadly, just going out and shooting the poor little creatures will be massively more cost-efficient than trapping and re-locating them....unless a rescue charity can step in to help re-locate them?
However we have to consider where they would be located to, and whether that would cause "problems" a few years down the line.
Why is it that when we mess about with the balance of Nature, and introduce a species, and it survives, flourishes, and does very well...we then have to kill the population?
Some stupid thing very wrong there I'd say.
