Yes part of my great-grandparents came from Europe. I'm third generation Argentinian. And so what?I am sure that your great-grandparents emigrated from Europe, although I would really like to know that you are native to South America. Your great-grandparents probably knew Wisent because they saw him with their own eyes. Unfortunately, Europe suffered the most from the invasion of human civilization and the nature there is almost completely exterminated. South America will probably follow in the future. Isn't it necessary to go back to the origins to stop this extermination of the wild world?
I didn't grew up in Europe, i grew up here and so the animals that are exotic to you are common for me, either in the wild or in captivity and i appreciate them (and want them for the game) as much as you do with european animals. In fact many european animals like red deer, wild boar and beavers are invasive here and extremely destructive to our ecosystems.
By your logic we should all only care about african fauna.
And saying that SouthAmerican biodiversity hasn't been extremely disrupted and endangered by human Activity, almost since colonization, is just denying reality.
