new florida contest

you guys heard about that? 1500 dollar reward to who can kill the most pythongs 1000$ bonus to who kills the biggest. this is sickening

I hate people so very much... If my career goes as planned, I may end up starting or helping a burm rescue.

Only in Duh-merica...

NEW CONTEST - $1000 To the one who breaks the most arms and legs of people participating in the Florida Burm killing contest. :rage:

How many pets will be entered and how many other snakes will be killed in this contest?

Can we just break off FL and let it float away?

You have to understand that this is an invasive species, Burmese Pythons don't belong in Florida and by holding this event they are attempting to downsize the population. People hunt deer, rabbits, boar, etc and hunting Pythons is no different. The only thing that makes me cringe is how some people might kill these snakes, i am sure not everyone will do it humanely.
I hate it just as much as the next snake lover but it would be hypocritical and wrong of me to criticize someone who hunts the species i love when i (and others) do the same thing to another species. JMHO.

Well it should be a contest for who can capture the most and then they can be taken to somewhere to be humanely euthanized. The first thing that popped into my head when I read this was a bunch of people just like the guy on youtube just hacking away with a machete... If it is going to be like hunting anything else then there should be tags and licenses and regulations on how it is done.

Here is a link to a very well written opinion on the matter that I personally agree with. It is worth the read.
