I can relate to the problem of invasive species. I used to live in the South, and even now my neighbors garden is being overrun by an ornamental Japanese grass (she didn't plant) and peppermint. All i can say is at least peppermint is USEFUL in the sense that its edible! She rips it all out and in 2 weeks its back... Both the grass and kudzu are Japanese... Reoccuring theme? Moral of the story: Japanese maples are good, Japanese grasses? Beware!
As for the rabbit issue my concern is them trying to control the population with disease, which most species become immune to, or worse, we can become sick from. Maybe they should just hunt them and eat them? Hossenpheffer (spelling?) anyone?
Finally the stink bug issue is definitely not nearly as big a deal to me as some other things, such as wasps! I had to laugh though because I've seen dogs with the same reaction to stink bugs as the one on the video, even my sister's dog (who eats acorns and anything that buzzes, including bees) won't eat them!
