You've got to be kidding me!

So just because its not a cute little ball python that you keep in a rack in your house, means its life isnt valuable? I mean I get it, its a means to an end, something needs to be done about the wild population, and we need to keep our hobby going.. etc etc, but come on.... the snakes are being talked about like they are slithering to FL on their own and taking over, and obviously thats not the case. While it may not be practical to try to remove them any other way, I think a general respect for life would be appreciated.

I have a great respect for life. But you said it your self

it may not be practical to try to remove them any other way

A general respect for life means I don't have to like the solution. It does however mean that as a rational human being I understand that life presents us with hard choices and at times we must choose the lesser of the two evils. While it may suck on 40 different levels but while we wishing on a falling star for a better solution law makers are writing laws that takes your pets out of your hands. Personally I don't care if they hunt them or fly them first class to Club Med I want them GONE. As long as they exist in the wild my passion and love for keeping these animals is at risk as is yours.

I know that and you know that but the people that make the final decision don't.
