I saw a doco on the brown tree snakes of Guam. The whole problem started with a few tree snakes arriving through the ports as boat stow aways I believe. Now they want to introduce a virus that leads to a prolonged painful death to the snake. Should a snake manage to escape the isalnd on a boat or a plane it will carry the diease to wherever it lands. Seems like a big risk to me.
The advocate of this plan said it is no risk because the snake would most likely be dead by the time it gets to the new country. Hmmm...good risk management plan... :
