The same commie fuckheads who bitch and moan about this completely ignore an even greater biological disaster.
At least with the bison, killing them was an act of war.
What I am talking about is the American Chestnut tree.
Used to be there were so many American Chestnut trees they pulled trainloads of them out of the mountains of Appalachia, bound for the cities of the East Coast
So great was that singular foodsource it could sustain the entire population of the American highlands all by itself for significant periods of time
The British East India company, while trying to steal tea plants from the Chinese to undercut their monopoly by planting them in India, their man in China came across the Chinese Chestnut.
A very much inferior tree. But, it grew quickly and the thinking was they could plant that in the US and undercut the American Chestnut market - the wood being strong, beautiful and very serviceable - with the cheaper alternative of the Chinese Chestnut.
They imported the Blight.
It killed only mature trees - trees younger than 7 years were immune.
50 miles a year, every year.
Until almost every adult American Chestnut tree was dead.
We are talking not millions, dozens of millions or even hundreds of millions
But BILLIONS of trees wiped out.
It was the greatest biological disaster in human history in North America.
And it was done out of greed.
There are a few left here and there. I know of one, personally. They are kept secret and are protected. The American Chestnut foundation has been quietly working for decades to bring back this almost extinct glory...
Yet, not a single one of these commie fuckheads will utter a word about it.
Because they cannot use Whitey Bad/Browns Morally Superior to advance their political agenda.
Fuck them
