are bps next on the list, or is it burms??

[mommanessy247]

the bad hype some pet owners are getting is whats bugging me. this goes for owners of any pet thats getting bad hype- dog owners, snake owners...im personally scared of pit bulls, but i know that the ones that bite people, its the owners fault for making it mean, not the dog's fault. i dont believe that just because a few act out, people should condemn the whole breed. thats what gets under my skin.
this thing with snakes...my hubby told his co-workers that i was getting a snake & one of them said "a WHAT?!" so loudly that it disturbed a few customers. [shakes head]
i mean come on, its not THAT big of a deal, but i live in south carolina & here people are mostly very old fashioned. i dont really like having to explain myself over & over as to why i choose to have a snake for a pet. i know i could be educating people but the stubborn, old fashioned fools really tick me off. reptiles as a whole are not "bad" pets its the people giving them a bad rap.
grrr i could go on & on with the same point so i will just stop right here. sorry im getting mad.

This was a setup plain and simple.
That BP was placed there to gather media attention and called a burm on purpose. Most people cannot tell a burm from a garden hose and this was done purposely to try an help the movement to ban burms.

No justice for a snake....somebody has been watching to many movies.

So, why don't a bunch of us get together and shoot fake news footage of someone's stray dog "killing" a large python? And maybe throw in footage of one being attacked by some feral cats for good measure.

Then we'll send it to all the media outlets as proof that large pythons are in real danger of being wiped out by stray dogs and cats.

Think that will make everyone in Florida turn their dogs loose in hopes of controlling the non-existent wild python population?

No... I know what we need! We need footage of a large python rescuing a drowning child, or maybe a child who fell down a well and was trapped climbing to freedom using a neighbor's giant python.

Maybe if we get enough positive stuff out there, they'll ignore the garbage.

I can picture a bunch of activists driving around throwing Pythons and Gators out their windows like candy at a parade then sitting back and waiting for something to happen.

Today in the news...this Burmese Python was found holding a family hostage at gunpoint, the Giant 5 inch Python was captured and is being held in a glass viv for further questioning, charges are pending.

I can understand Burms, Retics, Amethystine, Anacondas, and Nile Monitors. But really anything that averages 6-7ft really cant do much damage and here's a solution which is what im trying to do, start a REPTILE SANCTUARY that takes in strictly unwanted reptiles so ignorant people don't feel the need to let them go. I mean since i started posting adds on craigslist for unwanted reptiles people have been calling me left and right i have received 5 BP's in the last month so obviously its effective. If some people would help me out with this we could possibly make this into a big thing like the humane society for reptiles except without the euthanasia, and crooked corporates. If Florida would have done that in the first place maybe we wouldn't have this problem.

First of all... that was a nice BP..

Sencond.. there were stories that a 6 foot burms was running loose in tampa last year, and that a activist group set it freee when they were trying to do the bann on all snakes.
