Muntjack Deer

Surely we have learned the lesson that you don't solve a known unmanageable problem by introducing an unknown unmanageable problem. This argument is one of the more egregious pieces of propaganda used by the destructivist lobby, and we have seen its effects for a long time. It is not, of course, applied to the introduction of Monsanto species, the imposition of extreme laws and restrictions to 'control' a problem introduced by incompetence and so on. In this case, neither problem is unknown, and the problem of lynx overpopulation is known to be manageable. There is also the point that, when facing near-certain disaster, the very worst decision is to do nothing.
