People are so foolish to introduce damaging wildlife to areas where they don’t have any natural predators. The Everglades is having a real problem with giant pythons, thanks to those persons who once had them as “pets” and then released them into the wild. Even the alligators aren’t safe!
Unfortunately you’ll find that many FReepers think its funny. Just look at any thread about the Asian carp and the great lakes. They’re a potential economic disaster for the $70 billion sportfishing industry here. Like Florida, water is the key to many of these invaders.
The sea lampreys cost some $20 million per year to keep at a managable level.
