So you can't go out and fish without a permit BUT... You can go into the Everglades to hunt giant snakes.

You can go there and kill snakes for cash prizes BUT... I would be fined huge amounts if I caught one and gave it a nice life across state lines.

I can't believe Fish and Wildlife is behind this.


Why can't anything be done the right way?

You can fish without a permit on your own property.

Honestly? I see this as no different than hunting other invasive species. I.e wild boar. I swear. The reptile community can be just as bad as the horse community.

Horse community: "omg. horse slaughter is bad! Let's ban it. Why are there so many abused horses now? Why can't I sell my horse?"
Reptle community: "Don't ban our snakes! Omg! They're killing snakes that are invasive, shame on them!"

Like it or not, the snakes need to go, and until they are, the opposition will continue to use them against us.
