Actually the article looks childish and desperate.  Interactions with animals can cause injury and disease.  Anyone should know that, it's not worthy of an article promoting destruction of the species.  The old argument that one shark bites a person so we need to eradicate them is speciest, uneducated drivel.  Promoting it in a major publication is worse.  ALL invasive species are the result of one primary invasive species that transports them and introduces them into foreign environments.   Animals living in the wild are only doing what they should, and exactly what people also do - find a place to live, try to survive, and want to be left alone to exist and raise their families.  It's interesting that the very people that proclaim this as their own right are the same ones that want to deny it to others.  Now if you want to write an article about controlling the primary invasive species, that would be worth reading.
