It's like the Asian carp we have here. Horrible time getting rid of the things. Nobody gets upset when they have a tournament and pull out a few tons of carp and throw it away, because it's destroying the rest of the habitat. But they're an invasive species that wouldn't be here in the first place if it wasn't for fish farms trying to breed them for profit and then dumping them when that failed.
Agreed. But animal rights people still throw a fit when there are events to hunt to them down. And forced the limit to be 20 for a license. That abound be unlimited.
