When will people learn! You can never predict what a species will do in an environment it didn't come from?

We were told that Wild Hogs could never survive on their own here. Now we can SEE that that was quiet literally, HOGWASH.

I'm not going to run off a list of the worst offenders, rest assured, it is a long list. Think Killer Bees in the USA, Rabbits in Australia, Beaver in south America.

We might get lucky, maybe Bass can't survive here. And maybe, just maybe evolution no longer happens. We could possibly get away with it this time.

And next time, when someone wants to introduce their favourite species, it would be ten times harder to say no, and that one turns out to be a total disaster. Or maybe it's the one that comes after #2. Does it matter which one causes the collapse of the Walleye population or the Golden Trout population, or any other native species?

History can teach us if we will listen.

Golden trout is not native to alberta it was introduced in 1959 from California
