That article is obviously propgander created by people whom are afraid of, dislike, and have no knowledge of snakes. The masses may be listening to this type of articles and the vast majority are just as ignorant about snakes.

I was watching an episode of "cops" this evening and the cops were called for a Burmese that was found on someones front lawn in Las vegas. The snake most likely was an escaped or released pet as he was really calm when the cop took hold of him to try & get him into a cage.The cop who had little to no knowlege about the snake was saying things like "a child may have been killed a dog a cat etc etc" painting the snake to be dangerous. Neighbors also were saying they also captured large snakes recently. So 2 things bad are happening here on primetime TV. The masses are getting uninformed information painting snakes in a negative light. Pet owners are either irresponsible by letting them go or escsape giving the puplic the oportunity to exploit snakes in a negative light because the vast majority are uneducated about these animals.

The politicians who are going to vote on this bill need to be educated by the leaders and top experts. You then may have then have a good shot of having this bill modified or vetoed. Good luck
