It's very sad. I can see why people are afraid of them. If you see a snake that big and know how many eggs it can lay, it's not difficult to see how they could overrun the place. I like how the conservationalist emphasized that they don't view people as food, but unfortunately they are a real threat to the native wildlife.
Their greatest liability may be that they're simply too good at being predators. I love Burms and hate to see them die, but I don't want the native wildlife in Florida to die out either.
