    Yea BB they have been reported several years now, don't know about the shockin though. Have not heard anything on it.

    Problem with them being in Wyile is they will be every where else downstream before long too! Sucks

    I can't imagine the genious that dumped these things out, or the Lionfish for that matter, but they should be jailed if caught.

    Ironically, lot of folks are up in arms in California right now over a proposed new law to prohibit the importation of exotic animal, which might include hamsters, snakes, iguanas, tropical fish, etc. Pet stores are lobbying to kill the bill. It's a knee jerk bill that was inspired by the chimp attack that was in the news.

    I'm sort of a hypocrite because I've had all sorts of pets but it's hard not to admit that it's a bad idea to import critters that could become pests or even catastrophic to the indigenous animals.
