A Maryland resident dumped two northern snakeheads into a small
Crofton pond more than two years ago when they were no longer wanted
as pets, reports the Associated Press and The Baltimore Sun.

The individual was sorry, the report says, and had no idea that the action
was harmful. In fact, the person thought letting the fish go was a "good
thing."

Oh, and another baby snakehead was caught today.
