Florida`s unique ecology is already pretty much written off with so many non-native species already released. In that location money would be more wisely spent on managing the problem and identifying what species are now at risk. Then establishing breeding programs and conservation areas suitable for those species.
Gardeners here have inadvertently tries to kill off thousands of waterfowl with run-away plants like purple loose-strife.
I don't disagree with that at all, my main issue with this is that so many people believe that burmese pythons are single-handedly responsible for the decline of the Florida ecosystem. They refuse to even consider addressing topics like feral cats, big sugar, or over development of the land.
