After my post about the beavers brought to this country and various other rants about non-native species being introduced, here's a scenario I haven't touched on: escapees.
Turns out there's been a mass escape of farmed salmon off the west coast of Scotland, prompting predictions of a genetic disaster.
It appears a seal caused the outbreak. I was wondering - I mean, fish aren't exactly the cleverest of things, so it's not as if they would have planned it. "Here, you flick the latch while he's not looking and I'll lead the break out." Can't really see it, can you?

....or more like. "I wanted to escape, but as I've only got an 8 second memory, I can't remember why or where I was going.."

Rather embarrassingly, that's how I feel sometimes Damp and Dusty when I have to spend a day in the office!
