You're answering your own question : they do it because it makes business sense and they probably won't be the one to pay for the damages (not personally at least)
- geezerjay 9y ago> they do it because it makes business sense That's far from being the point, and it doesn't answer anything at all. I mean, I assume this "environmental nightmare" happened on a fish farming business located in Washington. After a brief googling, it appears that Aquaculture companies in Washington are required to apply for a commercial license. http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/commercial/misc_additional_permits.html http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/commercial/misc_additional_perm... Why on earth would a commercial license be granted to a business that involves introducing invasive species on a protected ecosystem?
