Invasive Species Cartoon

Great job on creating this animation that explains invasive species. Not good, not bad...they just don't belong here. It was created by designer Ellen Schofield for the University of Minnesota Department of Entomology.

World's Most Lovable Invasive Species

Many people love cats, myself included, but we have all heard of the problems they can cause when they are allowed to roam free. Below are some links to information about one of our favorite pets and the harm they can cause when left to follow their natural instincts outdoors. Now understand, these problems are caused by us, the pet owners. As responsible pet owners we need to take the time to learn about their needs, to keep them safe from the world and to keep the world safe from them.

So what determines whether you have the world's most adorable cat or an invasive species threatening the wildlife around you? You do.
