Anything that you enjoy is “problematic” with these folks. The Puritans were not as big a buzzkill as these busybodies.
First they came for the unborn, then to starve the infants, then to groom the children, now they are after your pets.
I’m sure the Florida legislature would like the exotic pet industry to pay to rid our state of undesirable imported critters.
Indeed so. ;-)
After all, they are so very dangerous that Andrew Lloyd Weber created a Broadway show about them where he revealed the bombshell news that they were even reaching for the “Heavyside Layer”, thereby insuring the extinction of humans.
I’m going with liberal progs from NYC, NJ and IL.

They rate feral cats as problem #15 and the air potato vine as problem #14.
I would uprate the air potato vine.
To be fair, felines are the originating source for all Toxoplasma gondii infections.
outdoor-feral cats, have an impact, true.
has anyone noticed the decrease in the backyard wild bird population?
feral cats, unlike some species, do not ‘tailor’ their broods, in regards to the abundance of their prey. they are consistant in their litters.
My 2 kitties NEVER have had their paws outside it is to dangerous for them out there!! I live in a very suburban neighborhood on a golf course, my neighbors kitty who was always outside was found on his front lawn ripped to shreds by a coyote!! The coyotes come in from fields because of the water on the golf course!! Kitties don’t NEED to be outside!!!
Feral cats tend to have short lives.
Covered in dried cat spit that is caked with litter box stuff.
I don’t let my cats roam because of traffic and feral cats here. But people with farms and barns find outdoor cats very useful to keep vermin DOWN.
And in the neighborhoods where I’ve lived, crows killed more songbirds than cats ever did.
(Humans contract toxoplasmosis from indoor cats far more easily and often than from outdoor ones.)
We do not need a new problem #15.
This is actually true. I like cats, but they’ve always got slaughter on their minds. If you could hear what your cat is thinking you’d probably kick him out of the house.
“the most threatening of invasive species.”
Kudzu is not going to give up the belt that easily.
Cat Ladies hardest hit.
Get married young and start having children instead of sleeping around and climbing the career ladder in your 20s.
Feed the carp to the cats, then feed the cats to the pythons, then feed the pythons to the Filipinos.
Ah, get real. The “The worst, most dangerous, most destructive invasive species?” are Mexicans and others coming across our southern border. But what do we expect when we leave the door open with a very well-known welcome message?
