How is this a problem for America?  |
This implies that one cannot possibly predict or anticipate the consequences of their actions.
For example, cane toads were imported into Australia "from South America during the 1930s in a failed attempt to control beetles on Australia's northern sugar cane plantations. The poisonous toads have proven fatal to Australia's delicate ecosystems, killing millions of native animals from snakes to the small crocodiles that eat them."

Were the importers of the toads not responsible for the negative results of introducing a foreign species? (Same with the rabbits.)
