While I've never visited Florida, I'm assuming it's something (about 20 degrees hotter) than the Carolinas. I'm not attempting to flame the person who start this thread. (By the way, thank you for actually checking the validity of the article before presenting it to today's youth. I've had college professors present information to me that they did not bother to even research for basic validity and presented it as scientific fact when it was only educated opinions. Can you say that was irresponsible?) Enough of my problems LOL!

While I lived in NC from 2002 to 2005 there were 4 major hurricanes. So I decided I pull this up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_At..._season#Storms
Which says in Florida there was 3 hurricanes and out of those 2 where "major hurricanes." Hmmm? Makes me wonder if other types of pets have ever gone missing during natural disasters? How many where mating due to not being spade or neutered? I did a quick google search for "Florida how many dogs bread in the wild after going missing during 2009" Guess what I got back? Florida invaded by pythons!!! So good luck finding that kind of information to compare to the "python problem." Personally I'm more concerned with all the venomous snakes that naturally exist in the USA. Heck even here in MN we have 2 types of Venomous snakes right where I live. (+2 points to who know the answer to this LOL!)
