Rierd, Connie. "Invasive Species." FDCH Congressional Testimony. 2 October 2002. Congressional Testimony.
The testimony goes over how many invasive species are brought in every year. It includes intentional, and unintentional methods invasive species are brought into the country. It summarizes the effects of invasive species on the native plants and animals. It also involves the safety, impact on tourism and health risks to people.
Health risks to people aren't brought up much so I was kind of surprised when it was. I also like that it covered other invasives, not just pets.

Reed, Matt. "Non-native iguanas sink their clas into Fla. Island." USA Today. 27 June 2006. Article.
The article deals with non-native spiny-tailed iguanas on the Flordia island of Boca Grande. It details how people have been trying to get rid of them. It also includes a few stories and quotes from the locals.
The article is kind of funny but a little upsetting. Even though they are invasive species, some people have been getting rid of them in illegal ways, like gassing or drowning them.
