Comment: No, you TELL yourself you are compassionate.  Deliberately foisting disease-ridden vermin on your neighbors and their children is NOT a compassionate act.  Feeding noxious, invasive predators that reduce the world population of Hawiian petrels from 50 to 42 just last year is NOT a compassionate act.  If you think so I can only conclude that your understanding of the natural world was derived from the Disney Channel.
