We only started arriving a few months ago. And look at them - they've been here for years and years! The wildlife here is plentiful! There's lots of plants too! You really think they'd suddenly change their diet just because we showed up?"

He then offered a helpless shrug. "I just don't think we look that tasty, miss."
