The Devil Shrimp?

WHAT will the ecologists call the next shrimp they find in our waters—the Devil Shrimp? Asks James Henry.

I have just read your report on the panic of the ecologists after finding what they call the Demon Shrimp in the Douglas and issuing dire warnings that it will 'disrupt the food chain' and equally daft statements.

The way of nature

The ecologists don't seem to grasp that things evolve—species disappear and others evolve, with the 'survival of the fittest' being the general rule. Species loose their food supply and die out whilst others thrive, it is the way of nature.

But of course ecologists believe they know best, and seem to want to keep everything as it is, protecting species that to put it bluntly 'have had their day'.

So we now have Killer and Demon shrimp that are chewing away on our native shrimps, those native shrimps I may add that often stop restoration as they are in its way. Let nature take its course say I, and stop these ecologists playing God, and at the same time stop CaRT employing more and more of them.
