Well, yeah.

Closest to that I can think of is the immortal "Plan 'B' sounds so LIBERATING!" which I believe was an Asay but also it was schoolgirls.

In first world countries there are usually a variety of organizations that relocate endangered animals and/or tax breaks for having stuff that endangered animals need to live on your property.

The rusty patched bumblebee is found only in the eastern US, tends to nest in old rodent burrows in relatively small colonies, and is a primary pollinator of several important food crops.

People have mentioned relocating, but for a good laugh check out the actual equipment used by beekeepers to relocate hives. Yes, it's just a somewhat specialized shop-vac. Dude in a beeproof suit literally just vacuums up the hive and takes the hive (with their queen, drones, etc) to their new home. Any workers outside the colony when it is vacuumed for relocation are doomed, but bee colonies are designed to be able to lose some workers without much issue.

Well I mean... he's not wrong. There was way more change in the fear-and-hate direction they wanted from those two planes than from every letter written since combined.
