python hunting

[Russ Lawson]

You may not agree with it, but this act is the one thing that, if successful, will defeat the efforts by the Congress critters from inacting Federal legislation. If Florida can show them that they have this feral reptile problem under control, Congress would not need to act on this COUNTRY WIDE problem.

I understand that, but unlike invasive species scientists and politicians, I actually do CARE about the native species in Florida, and am not putting on some façade in order to make money or further my own career. The state has already taken plenty of preventative measures for further releases, and measures to control the population. I just feel like they didn't think of the collateral damage that could be caused by an open hunting season for Python bivittatus.
