I think my point was misunderstood.

Firstly, I am far from an AR proponent...just to be clear.

Secondly, we may have had a freeze this year, but the FL ig populations will regenerate. The feral pop I saw in Key West last month looked just fine and there are already a host of babies in Boca. Here in Central Fl, our A carolinensis has been largely outnumbered by the Bahamian and Cuban variety and you are hard pressed to find a native green tree frog.

All the banter can come out, but the original thesis presented was that an invasive species cannot survive in a new habitat with the animals that have naturally evolved there. I'm just saying that has been proved untrue. It has nothing to do with whether or not we want rabbits, or if Florida has lost 75% of its igs in the freeze. With our modern technology, the natural process that one usually sees has been escalated. We can import whatever we want from all over the world, intentionally or unintentionally, and then shelter it, intentionally or unintentionally.

It's not an emotional conversation of us vs them, just an observation.
