Reptile group sues to overturn python ban

[OctagonGecko729]

For the record, the Everglades are one of the most broken ecosystems on the planet. Between the non native species that were deliberately introduced in the past, rampant pollution, draining sections to create land for development... Total trainwreck. Little known fact; the Florida Panther everyone seems to be so concerned about the pythons killing... They don't actually exist, and they possibly haven't for nearly 15 years. In 1995 eight female Texas Cougars were introduced in order to boost the breeding population of panthers. You'd be lucky to find a single animal with pure bloodlines.

Yeah this is something people really don't quite know about. There has been so many government programs that have completely failed this ecosystem in the past that it is indeed a complete trainwreck. You see this with almost every federally owned park, they screw up the ecosystem so bad by either mucking around with purposefully introducing species in mass or by not handling the pollution or tourism correctly.

Its all a lesson in the Problem of the Commons 101, including that the government itself is subject to this problem.
