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.
To me killing the snakes is not an issue, its the way their doing it, opening it to the public. I think like many others do, that their just going to windup feeding HSUS and PETA more fuel. But why are the pythons the only issue were sensationalizing here, why not cats, why not invasive plants, among many other issues. If your going to aggressively after one species, why not let them kill all the cats for money too?
