The gray squirrel, introduced into local woodlands ten years ago, threatens the indigenous population of an endangered owl species, because the squirrels' habitual stripping of tree bark destroys the trees in which the owls nest. ████ █████ █████████ ████ █████████ ███████ ███ ██████ ███ ███ ████ ██████████ ███ █████████ █████ ████ ████ ████████ █████ ███████████ ███ ██████████ █████ ████ ██ ██████ ██ ███ ███ ███████████ █████ ███ ██████ █████ ██ ██████ ██ ██████████ ██████████ ████ ██ █████████ ███ █████ ████████
Summarize Argument
Officials argue that setting out poison to eliminate invasive squirrels would pose no threat to a threatened owl population. This is because the poison would only be accessible to squirrels and other rodents.
Notable Assumptions
The officials assume that if owls can’t directly reach the poison, it won’t threaten their population. This means the officials assume the owls either won’t eat the dead squirrels, or else that poison in dead squirrels won’t harm owls.
The officials also assume that the owl population won’t be indirectly harmed by eliminating the squirrels and potentially poisoning other rodents, such as by losing an important food source.
