I feel like this is a Simpsons episode. They released snakes to deal with mice or something, then badgers or mongoose to deal with snakes, then they said they would release gorillas to kill the badgers and hoped the winter will kill them...
It seems like every time a plan like this is put in place it backfires in a crazy way.

>Conservationists have released 41 'apex predator' snakes into the Florida wilderness to hunt down venomous snakes as an essential part of the ecosystem.
The Nature Conservancy in Florida and the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens released the young eastern indigo snakes into the Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve on Tuesday.
The snakes - 20 male and 21 female - are all two years old and were bred and hatched in captivity in preparation to be released.
