I would say non-native humans caused more damage to the local environment than other imported animals did especially when you realize they are the ones who imported the animals. However, I have notice that my fellow human beings do tend to think they have a right that other living things do not! Of course some of them think that other living things have a right that humans do not. So I guess it balances out until one or the other drops the bomb on the ones who do not agree. Short of that mama nature will eventually sort things out.
