When I was in South Florida in the '80s some guys released tropical fish into canals West of Miami up and into Palm Beach County than waited until a population established itself than would catch them to sell into the aquarium trade. They were very secretive about their sites to keep out competitors, they made a lot of money doing this and put a lot of legitimate growers out of business as they had no overhead. This is one reason the Everglades is full of exotic fish. They are probably still doing it. Shame!

Anyone who ate a banana, mostly. Every species has their origin story. Brown anoles, tegus, iguanas came with all the fruit imported from South America. Pigs with the spanish explorers. Curly tailed lizards were purposely released by sugarcane farmers in the 40s. I could go all day, pet owners get the blame because it's an easy scape goat. In reality it's us as consumers that brought them in. Hell the peacock bass was released by the government to raise tourism.

Green anode is native. The brown anole is non-native from Bahamas. I see brown anoles all the time every time I step out my door since the 1980s. I've only ever seen 1 green anole in my life and that was about a year ago on my porch also. The brown anole out competes and out produces the green anole and they eat young green anoles. and they don't stand a chance of surviving. If I spent a day chasing the brown ones just around my house area, I'd probably catch 20-50 of them and there'd be more tomorrow to go after and again the day after its so common. Next common to find are house geckos, also non-native and everywhere. I've never seen the native reef gecko at all.

Cats are also invasive! I don't know if someone just let out their pregnant cat, but I remember not ever seeing stray cats before. All of a sudden kittens and cats appear. My dogs have chased them away, but now that I have been gardening. More birds are coming to my garden. So now I'm trying to plant native plants for them. I've had hummingbirds , butterflies, and honeybees in my area. I'm trying to provide for them and me, but those cats just keep coming. Now I'm going to put a bird house that will be put up right on the side of my garage. There is a big tree I have there, but no branches or anything will be near the birdhouse. That way there won't be any access for the cats. Plus my dogs roam around there too so they would have protection I guess you can say. Some of the birds are smart though. One made a nest like on the top edge on the inside of my garage so no cat can get in there. I leave the garage door open because my dogs sleep in there and get in and out when they need to go to the bathroom. A bird goes to sleep inside the garage where my dogs are sleeping. So there is no way for any cats to get in there. Bird is completely protected while being inside. My dogs are angels they keep the cats away and leave the birds alone. I still have issues though because while my dogs are sleeping is when the cats in my area take advantage.

I waited through the whole video waiting for the discussion of the homo sapiens who have altered the whole landscape of South Florida with the destruction of the natural drainage system, the uncontrolled development of all land, and the pollution of our beautiful waters. All of this is connected to the unnatural drainage of the land for the purpose of development ($$$). The system was destroyed before any of it was understood. Whether it's needed for our winter food production or the sustaining of natural habitats, no land is sacred in South Florida. Canals are nothing more than open sewers destroying all of the estuaries along the coastline with their severe dumping of polluted fresh water. The waters of Lake Worth are severely polluted between the City of Lake Worth & Boynton Beach, because the West Palm Beach canal dumps its dirty water there. Nature always finds a balance, contrary to the narrative delivered here. Species have been moving around the planet before man began writing its history. The only concern should be our own survival because we are destroying the planet that sustains us.

[@saltykrug]

I never dreamed of ever releasing any of my fish in the wild. When I had a fish that I couldn't care for and give away or sell, I put them in the freezer. It's the most humane way I've read to euthanize a fish because they don't feel it. I hope this is true. I do a lot of research on a species before I buy it too, that's the best thing to do with ANY pet. Read up on it and make sure you can foster it for it's entire life. It sucks but I think brutally eradicating these species is the best choice. They're not extinct where they came from so no need to get rid of them in Florida. Peacocks and Iguanas would not be very hard to shoot the hell out of them. Just start using them for target practice ffs. When hearts start bleeding, problems will ensue.

[@sparkyjones560]

We got laws in florida. You can't be shooting guns lawfully in city limits. Lol. And we got cruelty to animals laws. And while you can shoot iguana or peacocks, if you aren't dispatching them humanely you can be charged so you can't be winging them. Also you have to check traps regularly so they don't suffer in them if you trap them. Laws laws laws. I don't know about peacocks but as far as iguanas whenever it gets 40F and lower, they paralyze and drop and can't move until they warm up. Any time it gets that cold at night I get the mag light and go look around my property and dispatch them and take the legs and tail to eat and throw the rest away and I've told my neighbors. It's kept it under control near me, I rarely see them now in my neighborhood for the last few years. It's like chicken wings or frog legs. I can't go all over Florida though doing it. And I'm not sure many people know about them paralyzing with it gets cold but they just freeze up and can't move. No chasing involved. However, once they warm up they zip off again and it doesn't stay cold long enough for them to die off. Bang em on the head hard with a fish bat and it's done. Then harvest what's edible, there's no meat on the head or body they are all organ and bone and skin. But the legs and tail are good eating meat grilled like kabobs or battered and fried.

I wonder if lion fish could be live trapped. If they could, any fish that ended up in the trap with them could be released unharmed, and the harvest of lion fish could be increased. I'd like to try one, but they are unavailable in my part of the country. So Floridians, get busy and catch more of them so we can eat them here too! Also, can lion fish be used for sushi? Or do they carry parasites and are therefore inadvisable for using for sushi? If that's the case, I wonder what they would be like pickled? Most mackerel carry parasites and that's why when you get mackerel sushi it it always pickled mackerel. If they don't get parasites, or if they could be pickled, they might turn out to be something really in demand for the sushi market. If the more they are in demand as food, the fewer of them there will be. Win-win situation.
