  1. +I Bara You're too lazy to research it yourself and too arrogant too admit that you know nothing on the matter while pretending to be an expert . Ignorance is an understandable flaw (nobody starts knowing everything) but you sir, reeks of wilful stupidity or simply a troll.Neither can fixed. I'm done wasting my time with you.

  2. +Khew Zi Xuan Eradicating every single lion fish from their "introduced " habitat wont even put them on the least endangered list let alone cause their extinction. This particular species still thrives in their native habitat and they are quite popular as aquarium fish and are widely cultivated (easily for that) as one.

  3. You do know what "invasive species" means and why they're ecological disasters, right? I suggest you brush up on your biology (particularly on ecology) before posting next time.

  4. +The Modz As a non native speaker, I'm deep touched by your concern regarding my English proficiency. That doesn't mean that your OP and "rebuttal are on point, though. How do you suggest we remove these guys from the environment ,then?They threatened the local species to extinction due voracious nature and lack of natural predators.Leaving even a single breeding pair in the introduced environment is unacceptable due to this factor.Yes ,we need to remove all of them and killing them is the only current feasible option. Furthermore, it is pretty much impossible to cause extinction to these particular lionfish species as they both still thrive in the local ecosystem and are very popular aquarium fish species.

  5. +I Bara Funny someone who as young as you trying to pull age on me .Do you even remember the time when personal computers and portable phones were only the talks of science fiction? I suggest you actually do research on the history of environmentalism (and the achievement I listed) before spouting more of your ignorance.Heck , your unwarranted and ridiculously misguided misanthropy is the product of environmentalism. Th lionfish are invasive species that deserved to be eradicated in order to protect the ecosystem , any conservationist will easily tell you that. Yes, unlike them we are aware of the harm that we've done.The fact that your arguing about them proves that. Again google the achievement (your generation have no excuse for being this ignorant) I've listed.Not only did we slowed down the destruction of nature, we reversed some of the damaged (the ozone hole eg). Given enough time and technological advancement, we can do far more.

  6. Firstly, these fish are released by aquarium owners that were unwilling to dispose of them properly. you think they will be willing to fork a couple of thousand of dollars to ship them back to their natural habitat? Secondly, lionfish grows very well in captivity and breed easily.What is more likely to happen if consuming them became a thing and we managed to wipe them in the invaded habitat thank to this, is the aquaculture sector would start to farm them en mass.

  7. +I Bara No, you're obviously the naive one here.I suggest you look into the environmentalism and how that have change the world.Look what the environmentalist movement have achieved during all this years: We brought back species from near extinction (the Californian condors eg) ,prevented the extinction of many other , repaired the hole in the ozone layer, cut back on the use of dangerous pesticides (DDT eg) , moving towards cleaner energies and many, many more...We are capable of reversing many of the damages (this lion fish invasion is such problem ) that we have done and we are doing so this is what earned us our reprieve and our redemption. Invasive species such as the lion-fish are disrupting the local ecosystem and are causing irreparable damage to them.Unlike us, they're completely unaware of the damage that they're doing an can never undo them on their own.The responsibility lies on human hands.

  8. They're venomous.They're not poisonous ,though.

  9. You do know what "invasive species" means and why they're ecological disasters, right?

  10. +Tommy Good if they manage to make this invasive species extinct in their "introduced" ecosystem.This fish don't belong there and are threatening the local species to extinction.

  11. You need yto learn proper ecology before making a dumbass out of yourself with your OP.

  12. Their venom is located in their spine, neutralise that and their meat is pretty much safe.They're not poisonous like the fugu.

  13. No, puffer fish are poisonous, not safe to consume at any rate. Lionfish are merely venomous.That's a huge difference.

  14. Humans is the only "invasive" species that can and have been undoing the damage that we've done to this planet.Can those lion fish do the same ?

  15. + RARE non-normie left winger Many animals lovers falls into the PETA types idiocy groups.

  16. Eradicating every single lion fish from their "introduced " habitat wont even put them on the least endangered list let alone cause their extinction. This particular species still thrives in their native habitat and they are quite popular as aquarium fish and are widely cultivated (easily for that) as one. Their continued existence only disrupts the ecosystem they invaded while they brought little to no added benefit.Kill them all, every single one of them.

  17. Wiping them out would be good for the environment .Eating them is just a bonus for us.

  18. We're the only "invasive species " that can and have been undoing the damage we've done to the planet.

  19. That doesn't make any sense at all.
    2
  20. +ShootBigBucks Gaming So I'm guessing you now know why : A)Hunting them won't cause their extinction. B)Wiping them out is good for the ecosystem. You, know considering you have 9 month to educate yourself since your OP.

  21. +Coolcraftteam Ignore the OP. That kid is just trolling you.

  22. Good.They're are a destructive invasive species that does'r belong in the Pacific.

  23. The OP is an idiot, or a troll.

  24. They breed easily (each female laying million of eggs), very hardy,have no natural predators and a voracious appetite.

  25. They're venomous.

  26. The pet trade is how they got there in the first place.

  27. Travel Pigeons? WTF are those.
    2
  28. You do know that they're an invasive species ,right?
    2
  29. The lionfish is far from being endangered. The goal is to eradicate every single one of them from the invaded habitats, even letting one of them survive is a huge risk.
    2
  30. venom=/=poison You can drink the venom of snakes and scorpion without having any ill effect at all. Unless you had any open wound in your digestive system that is.
    2
  31. Do you know the damage that lionfish do to the ecosystem they invaded?I'm guessing not.

  33. Sharks don't eat them from what I read.

  34. Try harder , troll.

  35. +Luigi De Guzman Ignore him.The OP is obviously a troll, nobody is that stupid.

  36. How did he got rid of it?

  37. Thankfully it is next to impossible to cause this species to go extinct even if we managed to kill every single one of them in the invaded habitats.They still thrive in their native habitat( where they came originally from ) and are popular aquarium fish that breed very well in captivity.

  38. Unlike these lion fish, we human knows our impact on the planet and are trying to both undo and prevent/reduce future damage. That earned us our reprieve . Show me another "invasive" species that have this quality ?

  39. +R8ERN8TION52 I guess nobody have been telling you about this whole environmentalism thing that have been going on for more than half a century , huh?
    1
  40. +R8ERN8TION52 No, we're still building pipelines (I assume you mean fro the petroleum and gas industry) because we still need them .Enviromentalism is one of the reason why we're switching to clean, renewable energy.

  41. So some 14 second ad in a free video is too much for your entitled ass ,then. Got it.

  42. +Lvl100MagiKarp Splash I think you meant Passenger pigeon.Those birds weren't invasive species that threatened the extinction of local species in the ecosystem they invaded . hat's a completely false analogy.
    1
  43. +Lvl100MagiKarp Splash No , they weren't. That is completely false . I not sure if you're trolling or just stupid, but you should really stop spreading misinformation.

  44. You think the price is unfair?

  45. Learn proper biology (and ecology) too..

  46. They invasive lion fish are causing extinction to the native species.
