Ah yes, of all the species we've eradicated, the one that makes up the least biomass would surely be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.
All I know is that projects like this rarely go as planned. I mean, just ask Australia, they've had a couple animal control schemes gone terribly wrong. The truth is that we don't always know every function of a particular animal within an ecosystem, and messing around with them could have difficult to predict consequences.
