>>>>Funny aside, rumor here in SE PA is that the insurance companies and the game commission imported them to reduce the deer population to lower the deer-related traffic accidents and expense. Now you've heard it all, right?
There is a similar rumor in Oklahoma about cougars too.
I was on a fishing forum last year (?). Someone posted that sharks were being incubated and released.
I wasn't able to get anything more out of that poster nor could I chase down information from his nic or profile to find out anything else about him.
Makes you wonder how true those re-wilding stories are.

Don't know if they're true, but know they are unsuccessful here, anyhow. All the coyotes have managed to take here are the free range chickens and an occasional duck. I was wondering about the disappearing chickens and the neighbor called and said that they were at her place....a wing in the driveway, a head on the lawn, etc.
