Here in michigan the DNR introduced an animal in the upper peninsula called a fisher, it loves to eat porcupines, the fisher is very nimble and manages to get the porcupine on its back and kills it. you know when you see a porky kill, all there is left is the head and skin on its back with all the quills intact, they planted them here to controll the porky population, (only thing is now we have a fisher problem) they breed like rabbits, i quess thats how the DNR works, now we have to find something to eat the fishers???

Yea didn't they do something like that in Hawaii also...
They introduced Kudzu around here to control erosion... I know that if you throw some concrete blocks on it and spray it with Round up it grows better...

Sometimes I wonder about the DNR. Up here they said we had too many rabbits and they were eating the small trees effecting the pulp industry. Although they will not admit it now they introduced the coyote to take care of the rabbits. Well the first ones were about 45 pounds 10 years later they are running 75 -80.We have no more rabbits, deer population probally 10% of what it was and hard as hell on house cats and family dogs. I am in the middle of town and we have a pack behind the house yapping every night.

When will man understand and realize that nature does, or does not allow for certain species in specific areas for a
good reason. How many times have the so called "experts" introduced new specias to a new habitat and then we live to
regret the decision. Ever hear of KILLER BEES!
