Be it the pheasant, which is wild, but which is owned & bred by landowners who then charge to shoot them.  Or the much less commercial & pleasant Asian Hornet, or Coypu.They Coypu was introduced for it's fur, but they became a huge problem in my area of England. But have now been eradicated. We have had non native colonies of Scorpions, (Euscorpius flavicaudis,) within the UK for a few hundred years. They came in with marble shipments & established themselves in walls around Sheerness Docks.</blockquote>
