Other then gopher tortoises...are there other examples of disease spread through captive released animals? Even in that situration, if I remember correct, was the result of combining isolated colonies. While I do not advicate the deliberate release of cpative animals, even if they are from the locale populations, I must say though, I find it intriguing that I can now head to Florida and catch a python. I know that my opinions are contrary to popular sceintic thought, but I like to think of man as being part of nature and not contrary to it. I do not understand why when a crane or heron carry a species to a new location that is "natural" and if man does it, that is unatural. With man or without man...the status quo is not static...it is always changing.
