Kind of makes a point as to what responsibilities that we , as a group, have to the hobby and environment.

I heard about the Northern Snakehead incident in Louisiana via NPR (National Public Radio) as I was driving to work. This kind of stuff makes me scared because of "how" these animals got here in the first place. NPR stated that in China these fish were eaten for food, so apparently you could get one alive and keep one as a pet. I was raised in Hawaii, and know what the introduction of foreign animals can do to the indigenous and native animals. It is devastating.
