Yeah, I understand, and if they only target this particular species (and the targeting is effective and doesn’t spill over to other species), then maybe it won’t be as bad as I worry it could be. Hopefully that protein doesn’t affect the species up the food chain, too.
It just seems like our history is full of things we’ve started doing with good or neutral intentions only to discover unintended effects down the line, but sometimes we’re too entrenched by the time we see it to change.
