Do you oppose the hunts in Florida?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Some large snake species have become invasive to this country (USA.)
They are known to destroy natural habitat.
Seems like people just can't seem to take care of all of them. Just like cats.
Why continue to allow them?

Where do I start?

First what is really the question here because with the poor wording it's really hard to tell?

Let's see, I will reformulate the question and give my own answer.

Should large constrictors be added to the lacey act and banned from interstate transportation? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Why? Well first it is a problem of government infringing on people's right, I really don't like the big brother "I know what's best for you" mentality that takes aways my rights or anyone elses.

Second it makes NO SENSE, does not solve the problem and is based on FAKE science.

Tell me how the Constrictor Rule will solve the issue at hand? Explain to me how not being able to transport your animal(s) across the state will solve the issue in Florida? Explain to me why they include all those species when only Burms have been found in Florida?

Does Florida has an issue? Yes - Is it as bad as they make it sound? NO - Are private owners responsible for the Burmese population in the everglade? NO - Can the issue spray across the country? NO

Are you opposing the hunt? I do not oppose the hunt of any invasive species that is proven to be a nuisance to the eco system, I believe in controlled population management when it is necessary, now the question is, is it the case here?

I understand that you are new but I think you need to educate yourself on the real issue.

This is about money, and lobbying, the forces behind this law have a much bigger agenda than this a few years ago those same people thought all exotic animals should bee banned (hamsters, gold fish, parakeet, turtle etc), and not just from transportation but from ownership. Why because the people behind this believe that no animal should be kept as a pet, they actually went as far as assimilating pet ownership to slavery . When they failed a few years ago, they decided to divide and conquer by attacking a specific group, the one no one would care about, making giant snakes "the big evil monsters" that needed to be eliminated and so since 2012 we have been losing ground and will continue to do so if people do not educate themselves and think that because they don't keep X or Y species they don't have to be concerned.

Anyway some info on the burmese issue in the glades
