Missouri certainly has its share of habitat destruction. But I'm not aware
of any species in Missouri that have become endangered as a result of
introduced game species. Perhaps you could provide an example.

That's one advantage to Missouri's setup. We have a system that is as far
removed from politics as seems possible. Pressure from the legislature
isn't possible. They don't have any say in funding. The governor's
influence is restricted to nominating the conservation department's
commissioners.
