What non-native animal would you really really really like to introduce into your local habitat ? (reddthat.com)

Environment be damned or don't be damned. Because you like them or because you don't like your neighbors ... what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?

Some predator that hunts people that you could escape from easily if you're moderately intelligent. We need to bring back natural selection with a vengeance. Maybe wolves.

Or how about it would be really annoying to annoying people. Like if zombies were pretty rare but also didn't bite you or kill you but followed you around in a constant light slap fight and stole from you like a sock from each pair or put holes in your donut holes or threw rocks at your house in the middle of the night but was totally invisible to police.

I would not want it murdering the slightly less intelligent than me without knowing that sliding frame of reference of what "less intelligent" could mean would eventually subsume me as a matter of fact.

Nah, I don't want them annoyed. I want them gone. It wouldn't be a sliding frame of reference either. It would just be "animal that is smarter than people who are so stupid they become a problem for everyone else around them"

What a weird thread to bring eugenics into.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is it still eugenics if wolves are the ones doing it?

[–] bermuda@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

You're the one introducing it.
