Why Isn't Montgomery Modular Exponentiation Considered For Use In Quantum Factoring?

Introducing animals that wouldn't be considered native to the country..?

• Has science or anyone involved in wildlife affairs proposed the idea of slowly re-introducing certain animals into a habitat where they are no longer living? Natural selection isn't primarily responsible for the extinction of animals in loss of animals in a particular location. Man is also responsible, as are natural disasters that have wiped animals out. For example, in America, there use to dwell the American Lion. What impact on Americas food chain and ecosystem would re-introducing the lion back to America? (Slowly, at a reasonable rate, of course) Or what about animals that voluntarily make their own way to a certain area? It wasn't until recent times that Jaguars lived in the U.S.A. until they started merging north into the area. Is the Jaguar yet to be considered native to this country? How long does it take for an animal who isn't normally native to a country to be considered a native to the country if they continue to make their way there?

• Answer:

  The problem with introducing predator animals, such as lions, is the human population. Sure most people in America think lions are majestic creatures and enjoy watching them on nature shows: but how beautiful would they be when there is a whole pack of them overturning the trash can in your driveway? Far worse then scaring people, they would also become a pest for farmers. These big cats would target livestock as an easy meal. And they would have to adjust to new prey and new landscapes. As for other species, I'm not quite sure what would happen. For example, lets say you brought over wildebeest from Africa to Glacier or Yellowstone National Park. Now a whole new species of animals would be competing with others for food and space. I'm sure the bison, who are growing in population and are already wandering out of the yellowstone park's limits, would not appreciate their new neighbors. And as for Glacier, wildebeest would have trouble migrating through the mountains. And when they did make it through, they would end up trailing in to developed land, allowing hunters access to them. Farmers would also probably shoot them for trampling/eating crops. Overall, unless it is a very small herbivore, with no possible environmental impact, the results could be very bad indeed. Although it certainly would be interesting!
