    I'm curious about the ethics of hunting/fishing and eating non-native invasive species.

    The big ones are fish, such as lionfish and asian carp, but also the green iguana.

    All of these pose large threats to the habitats they've been introduced to and it seems to me that the ethical choice is to eliminate them from the area they are non-native to.

    Edit: feel free to dunk on me or whatever for this, I'm legitimately just curious on the vegan stance of this. I'm not trying to argue for hunting in general or anything like that btw.

      :im-vegan: and invasive species are also something I'm not too sure about because everything I've learned in ecology is very pro killing invasive species. But on the other hand, I genuinely don't know if more human intervention is going to solve invasive species problems or just make it worse by being mishandled. Way back in the discord days someone posted a good resource on integrating invasive species into the environment I'll see if I can find it again somewhere.

        Talking specifically about hunting/fishing. Though many may not want to hunt/clean an iguana lol, the fish on the other hand are actually quite good and not hard to fish for at all.

            Right I kept deer off this list for that reason. But, yeah, I am specifically imagining living in an area with pervasive invasive species and spearfishing for them or very targeted hunting for food purposes.
