Why are pythons in the Everglades not just shot on the spot?

I've read it's because it's on federal land and wildlife officials want to make sure they are humanely killed. What? These snakes have destroyed the Everglades and are wiping out a lot of the native animals and we're worried about humanely killing them. I just watched some python hunters lose a couple of big snakes, but had they been allowed to just shoot the snakes, two less snakes would be eating our native animals. This is just asinine to me!

Shiny happy people holding snakes!
Or at least writing laws about capturing them.

Or just chop them with a Kaiser blade.

Damn good question.
Bc out of touch PETA sissies from the north east are just as common in south FL as the burmese pythons are.

Looking at FWC website firearms are allowed and encouraged. Your “hunters” were either in a place that specifically doesnt allow firearms in a closed season for game, or they wanted to make a show of it. I’m guessing the later.

There are public tracts in Mississippi that for years wouldn't allow (some still don't) spring and summer time hunting for hogs on public land that's crawling with them, for fear that someone might shoot a tick infested doe in July. I know of one tract that, to this day, doesn't allow unabated summer time hog hunting for fear a deer will be killed, even though government biologists estimate 70+% of fawns are eaten alive by hogs every warm season (they've become specialized in sniffing out fawns, hogs can smell them unlike native predators).
Being the outdoor board, I think more than any forum on this site we are familiar with the inefficiencies of government agencies and their paralysis when it comes time to act on a problem/ not problem in a timely manner.

Ummmm huh.

I would guess it has something to do with, they don't want a bunch of mulleted jort wearing Florida cracker rednecks shooting off guns in every direction with absolutely no common sense or judgement in play.

That’s basically what duck hunting on public land is so it can’t be for that.

The government will let hogs go unchecked all summer long as they decimate fawns, upland birds and habitat, because god forbid someone might shoot a doe when 99.99% have no interest. It doesn't even make logical sense other than a bureaucratic superiority complex.
