Opinion Chickens have gone crazy in Hawaiʻi. But there’s a way bigger problem. - "The animals — moa, as we Native Hawaiians know them — had been domesticated and transported in the voyagers’ double-hulled vessels, along with pigs, dogs and canoe crops such as kalo (taro), ʻulu (breadfruit) and ʻuala (sweet potato).
"Over the following centuries, the Native Hawaiians, or kanaka maoli, developed a complex, regenerative and self-sufficient agricultural system in their new home, and the moa proliferated.
...
"Besides, how else will we cook our huli huli chicken? The word means “to turn,” as in the turning of the chicken over burning kiawe wood — but also as in the turning of old systems into new ones, of shifting and rejecting the status quo." [ed. note: lolllllll "native" Hawaiians are humans like any other who have brought and embraced ecological destruction at every turn - introducing chickens, pigs, dogs, and invasive Prosopis pallida trees ("kiawe") but lamenting always the newcomer]
