I agree with you, but, unfortunately, there are those who would probably
regard your complement of animals as 'invasive aliens' (unless your

All British mammals, except Mountain Hares, Stoats and perhaps
Weasels, are invasive aliens. Similar remarks can be made about
birds.

Exterminate! Exterminate!
