Who chooses which species Blight or Catastrophe removes?

Several players agree the card's chooser makes all the choices; the rulebook says the dominant animal picks and resolves the card.

The player who chose the Dominance card, meaning the dominant animal on the tile just scored, makes every choice in its execution, including the removals on adjacent tiles. This is not the dominant animal of the tile the card affects. Cards such as Disease and Immigrants are the exception and have their own food-chain-order decisions.
