It is going to be impossible for them to eradicate almost 100,000 burms in as little as a few months.

Very sad that this has to happen...

Studied... ok
Destroyed... not so much

Why dont they donate them to Zoos, Breeders, or return them to India

While this is desirable it is not possible, inexpensive, or likely. The man in the video I'm sure doesn't want them to be destroyed either, but he knows he has to remove them.

No breeder would want a wild Burm in their facility. Zoos are already filled up as it is, and transportation to India is FAR beyond expensive.

speaking of india, i wonder if the situation would be any different if these were indian pythons

They are studying them. Google "Aiken Burmese Python"

Killing them won't have much of an impact on the population, but an impact nonetheless.

Like blackcrystal said, zoos are full and breeders have no desire, but returning them back to India..? Relocated snakes often die... it's not good.
