I think an animal that exist can be more harmful. Pigs in Australia run havoc, but do not brred with anything.

I think the RES in Ohio is an example. Now an introduced sp, it is not allowed to be sold in Ohio. So I see cooters for sale at shows. As Hank Jill would say, "man I'll tell you what" I've seen some cooters I highly question as full cooters. I think a male RES will try to mate with anything close.

And any animal that can breed with animals in a new region can be harmful, not just hybrids.

I guess we just have different views. But PA's colubrids law proposal seems to see a danger. And I AM NOT backing that law. But us herp people have to be better at keeping our pets. And be involved with people that do not understand the effects of releasing herps, and walking monitors down the street (ok I was guilty of that as a kid lol). We have to work as a whole.

These is surely one of the most complex and has so many views, that are congruent in places and conflict in others. This forum is not a good place to discuss it. Although if I thought there was a group get together to talk about this, and it had some input to gov't decisions, or any regs, I would do what evr I could to be there, maybe just to listen,, but I doubt that lol.
