    It's either that or their colonies starve. The ants don't really understand that they're an invasive species, they just have to hunt whatever it is they can eat, and they have to kill it however they can kill it. I realize that probably doesn't make it any more comfortable, though. It is an intense, deep sadness. Nor can I fully blame the humans who probably had no idea they were even carrying crazy yellow ants. The only way to truly prevent things like this would be to never travel. And, well... that's just not an option for us as a species. Same reason why yellow crazy ants have to hunt the way they do. So all we can do is mend our mistakes as we discover them.

    @@DundG You, like so many others before you, are completely missing the point. There's nothing natural about this. We humans upend and defy the natural order I'd things, causing utter chaos. Those ants NEVER would have that island on their own in the time span that they did (less than two hundred years) naturally. EVER. On their own, it would have taken them millions upon MILLIONS of years to reach Christmas Island, and even then it would have been complete luck and only a handful of survivors would have survived the journey That's how organisms that can't FLY got to islands in the first place before we interfering humans got involved. TOTAL LUCK. And I KNOW why Terror Birds went extinct, and that didn't happen naturally either! I have strong reason to suspect that humans were involved directly or indirectly with the demise of the last terror birds too, so.....what exactly the hell are you getting at here? None of this is happening NATURALLY. We humans esxew the natural order and create utter chaos. And even if we humans had nothing to do with the end of the terror birds and it did happen naturally, that was because of natural continental drift and naturally being outcompeted. It has nothing to do with humans UNNATURALLY introducing species to new environments they would have taken MILLIONS OF YEARS to reach on their own. Why don't YOU do some research on island extinctions over the last 10,000 years, and how we humans caused ALL OF THEM.

    For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21
