text: I fully understand the sarcastic counterarguement here. It's invalid as it implicitly offers the fallacy that northern pike and mayday trees are an equal detriment to the respective native species they compete with.
  Furthermore, I hope you arn't falling for that scare tactic regarding the moose falling dead at the mere sight of a mayday. The very few that do die from consuming organic mayday material are helping the gene pool out, which benefits the intelligence of future moose generations. I do worry about our own gene pool though, as I know people who are convinced that maydays are bad for Alaska, are also reproducing. "SAD!"
