Where does the state biologist say they need to be killed? Invasive also doesn't necessarily mean bad. Compared to other invasive (emerald ash borer, Asian carp, etc.) their economic/ecological damage isn't quite as noticeable because they lived in the Western US/humans killed the elk, mountain lion, and wolves that normally lived in this area. VT fish and game recognizes their importance to the ecosystem since evey other major predator here has been extirpated.
