Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains by Bethany Brookshire
4.0
Solid non-fiction about animals that are commonly seen as pests. Has a lot of of good information and I enjoyed reading it.
If I do have some feedback it's that sometimes it will jump subject a bit (like you're reading a chapter about X animal and suddenly the author will talk about Y animal out of nowhere).
Also, I personally found it odd that in the pigeon chapter nowhere passenger pigeons are mentioned. As in, the pigeon species humans literally hunted to extinction because (supposedly) they damaged crops? Quite odd since they're quite a major thing that happened in the past century.
