"European colonisers brought diseases to the Americas which contributed to the Native American genocide!"

@chrisCA Are you free to take one species of animals and just take them to any country you see fit?

@pianoplayingsteve No. Every country has these rules. The same goes with living plants, and food. It is up to a nation's border services to enforce these rules.

@chrisCA And why do they have restrictions on which animals and plants are allowed in their country?

@pianoplayingsteve To prevent diseases to livestock, and crops.
These are separate issues. There is no need to use this be anti-immigrant.

@chrisCA ah, yes. People don't also carry diseases. That'd be bigoted.
