Aside from the implication that this is a trial run for killing other species, it really does seem like a horrible idea. Does ANYONE understand the complex web of life on this planet well enough to predict what would happen if an entire species were to be eradicated? What other species would be affected? What would fill their niche?
And why should We the People allow a private corporation to make such a decision and do such a thing?
