Admittedly, their message is somewhat confusing at first. They may be onto something here.

We have those stupid Asian Carp here. They can literally knock people out of boats by their jumping. They start jumping from the sound of boat engines.

The pond posse concept involves the public. If the public can be educated on why the eastern bullfrog doesn't belong, he's got a good shot at pulling this off. I'd love to be able to track how his public relations campaign does. This unwanted is right up there with the Alien Plant Working Group's Least Wanted campaign, PCA Alien Plant Working Group: Fact Sheets and WeedUS List It's catchy and gets the point across. Nobody is willing to get involved until their ox starts getting gored. This brings the issue of invasives to a level where the public can understand their ox is getting gored.

Sounds like a program that might appeal to kids - kind of like "deputies" to the Texas Rangers. Kids love environmental issues - after all they are the ones who inherit the Earth - they have an interest in learning to take care of it.
