The policy wonk that came up with that should be fired. Pure stupidity. Sad for the birds down there.

Birds?? Hell, anything that walks, hops, crawls and flies is on the menu for those large snakes. If they can kill it, they'll eat it.

I've seen several shows about the folks that catch those snakes for a living and to a man they all say how the native animals are disappearing. There's less rabbits, coons, possum, deer, hogs, etc. than ever before, and it's directly tied to the explosion of the python population.

Now, they are moving out of the GLades and into neighboring areas where the human population is and pets are now prey.
