People are NOT driving all the way to the blasted Everglades to release unwanted pets! They can't be bothered to take them to the local humane shelter, there's NO way they're going all the way to the freaking tip of florida.
It's Not a issue for responsible owners, it's a environmental issue that the STATE of Florida is working on with knowledgable experts.
This bill/law is nothing more than a animal rights foothold for PETA and HSUS to get rid of domestically kept animals. Once this is passed, they'll just use it as a stepping stone to add more and more until there are no pets, and no food animals left.
Go into the fight with your eyes open. The bill is ridiculous, since the animals listed cannot live in the other states. The last minute additional of Boas to the bill shows exactly how little it relates to feral populations of snakes.
