Discussion -- Releasing Pets into the Wild

hear in ohio i dont think alligator snapping turtles are native here yet we have one in our rexcenter pond and he is almost 3 feet long and I think that is a major saftey hazard and now I wonder if my snails can survive being dumped out the second story window on dry soil and even make it to the pond down my street...There also carps at the bottom of the dam near the columbus zoo and some are giant
 
You know, the quaker parrots actually get a lot of positive press here in NY. There are established colonies in the BX and Queens. Guess it's probably because we need all of the "wildlife" we can get in the city :D
 
down here in sarasota, iv seen black capped conures, monk parakeets, budgies, cocatiels, i think a sun parrot and a lot more that i didnt know. im not sure if its a problem or not, but give me a net gun and ill solve it:devil:
 
and they just realeased peacock bass, for some reason, into the waterways down here. florida is becoming a giant zoo. and red fire ants come from argentina. its really annoying to think that some guy brought them here, especially when ther biting you
 
I used to live in texas and always step in the ant hills and i am alergic to them -.-
 
Sounds like south america is invading.
