Before turning to the need for public support and the benefits of utilitarian theory, some terms need definition. Following Bomford and O’Brien (1995), “eradication” is defined as “the complete and permanent removal of all wild populations from a defined area by a time-limited campaign” (p. 249). Following Genovesi (2001), “invasive alien species” (IAS) is defined as “an alien species, subspecies or lower taxon which becomes established in natural or semi-natural ecosystems or habitats, is an agent of change, and threatens native biological diversity” (p. 6). Thus, it will be assumed that IAS targeted by the program pose a threat to the ecosystem and are not merely nonindigenous.1 Following Vane and Ruhhaar (2016), “appealing animals” are defined as mammals, birds, and pet species (p. 2).
