Great example!


Great example of exotic invasive species proliferation.
That's the same as say look how good the zebra mussels are doing in the Great Lakes.

Poor analogy. Accidental with 0 benefit. Salmon would be a great invasive species to have to feed and play with in ones backyard. 100's of examples exist that man has introduced on purpose. Like Ring neck Pheasants, Turkey's, Elk, Mountain Goats, Triploid Trout, Tiger Muskey, and Walleye just to name a few. Sometimes the benefits out weigh the costs.
