Frogs fly first class

Mock me if you must, but I love that they're taking these extreme measures to save Montserrat's mountain chicken frogs. I don't like seeing species go extinct.

Florida's entire fauna is in danger of extinction because we allow people to bring in the world's most dangerous creatures -- as pets or in misguided attempts to solve other problems.

A cozen species of holly and some idiot has to import a Brazillian plant that's done bazillions of dollars damage to tens of thousands of square miles.

Umpteen furry, slimy and scaly things that eat bugs and they have to import deadly poisonous toads "to eat the bugs" that have driven all the native ones into extinction.

So often the cure is worse than the malady Fogg. It's never good when humans try to beat mother nature.

I hadn't realized the FL ecosystem was in such a mess. I'm sorry to hear it.
