i do have a different opinion and respectfully let me say it is true that that man cannot force a species to crossbreed, but we are certainly a key player. i believe that nature created one dog, Canine Lupis and man bred it into different species based on their perception of perfection or their needs. the "purebreeds" are a creation of man, not nature......and it is again man through his travels and interactions that allowed the "mutts" to be created. the abilitity that nature have is that it will always find a way to procreate. the failure to control the waste water of one public aquarium in monaco created a worldwide panic of the the takeover by caulerpa taxifolia. california is right now under attack by hundreds of non-native species that are competing with or overtaking natural species. the simple african bullfrog has now just about wiped out the leopard frogs and american bullfrogs from california, neveda, utah, arizona, and new mexico. the african tilapia has caused extreme environmental and economical setbacks to some south american countries. the california waterways are at this point choked with african lotus and asian snails. i bet each and every one of the items that i mentioned involved people that really believed their actions were just, but in the end it is man who wants to bring nature home and it is up to nature to overcome his stupidity. we must remember that blessed with the greatest intelligence on this planet, we are also the guardians of it's future. what if more than one person brought "one"?
You are talking about the Introduction of a species into a non native environment. We were talking about the crossbreeding of species. Two different topics. But I do agree with all ylur points on the interdiction problems.

that is a fair answer. i understand your point...........i am just preaching caution the we should not be arrogant enough to overestimate our ability to control nature and its ability to prove us wrong.
Well I like my clowns just as they are. I think we as humans fail to see the beauty that is before us and tend to think we need to tweek on things to make them better, maybe it's our nature.
