“Sierra Club has long opposed holding wild animals as pets, but particularly when those animals could present a problem if they accidentally or intentionally are introduced into the state’s natural areas. There are many, many examples of exotic critters that have become problems in California after being introduced into the wild. One that I am very familiar with is the bull frog, which has helped push out other amphibian species in certain habitats since its introduction in the 19th century.

Sadly, we weren’t able to get the Sierra Club to reexamine their position.
I am going to write a letter to the national sierra club which I’ve supported for about two decades, with my annual renewal canceled, and tell them exactly why I no longer can support them.
