Having had bad lucks with cane toads and rabbits, scientists in Australia are worried about the next animal that could wreck the continent's ecosystem: supercats!
The Federal Government has been under fire after it was revealed last week that savannah cats - twice as big as domestic species - are being imported by pet shops.
Scientists are warning that bandicoots, bettongs, potoroos and possums could soon be on the menu for the imported creatures, which were originally bred by crossing domestic cats with the African serval cat.

Just what I was thinking. I wonder what foreign species they'll introduce to control the cats. Mutant dogs? After that...Mutant Animal Control personnel?!

(or succeeded, take your pick)
nothing but vermin, the whole lot of 'em.
Cows,cats, sheep, foxes, a lot of plants ...basically the introduction of most species pretty much was a bad move.
But it shouldn't be a problem so long as people take care of their animals properly.
But I know better than that. :(
