NO NO NO NO NO...and....NO
They don't belong here.
Lets look at the history of introduced species....
Rats in North America...thats right they weren't here before Europeans brought em.
Starlings...yup some Shakespeare nut got home sick
Broom...that yellow bush you see all over Vancouver Island now.(Another homesick guy from the UK)
Rabbits in Australia
Cane Toads in Australia
Snake heads in the USA
Asian Carp in the USA and the Great Lakes
Wild Boars...that have a bounty on them in Alberta.
Zebra Mussels in the Great Lakes
Asian Long Horn Beetles
Pine Beetles...I think....
Burmese Pythons in the Florida Everglades
European Lady bird beetles...the North American ones are almost all gone now.....shall I go on?
Every one a freakin disaster for native animals.
Why would anyone even suggest we introduce bass when it could really bugger what we have?
