I think the big concern is that conservationists have made the created structure of biotic nativeness into gospel truth. It is a relatively recent and incoherent construct, yet it seems to have an almost religious following. By demonstrating suitability to an environment, they should be considered native. It is an utter farce to say that just because humans transport a creature that it is un-natural. Google "The Rise and Fall of Biotic Nativeness" which is an excellent write up on the subject.
Now a days people are so brainwashed, they even can't think clearly. I can easily write a paper showing invasive species kill other plants or animals. Also I can show them native species do that too. Academics are now a days do that, they show one side, skipping other to get funds. people are so naive!
"The American mink being American are bigger, more aggressive, they breed better, they are much more efficient at hunting, its a classical case of oversized over sexed and over here." Damn this mink reminds me of myself back in my navy days lol. I feel bad for the native European wildlife but that mink makes me proud to be American. Go spread freedom and democracy little buddy!
