They've been here a long time now, and it isn't their fault that someone brought them over. Besides which, they are presumably descended from the same ancestors anyway, back when the land was all a single mass - so it doesn't matter if they've been here 100 years or 10,000,000.

How do you feel about the fact that we have lions, elephants, zebra, giraffes etc here - none of those are originally from here, right? And those are ones in conservation areas here (safari parks, zoos etc)

If such a species existed then they'd have wiped us out before now anyway Any species which is more dominant than another will naturally survive - if this wasn't the case then we'd not be here. If a species isn't strong enough to survive, and can't adapt, then it means nature has selected it for extinction.
