Hate to be the one to say it but is it really news? We have done this several different places spreading new species into habitats that had not evolved to deal with then and all hell breaking loose. Sometimes by accident like it appears to be here sometimes deliberately like with the Cane Toad in Oz.

Hope they get the issue under control soon though.
