YEEHAW baby. The killer elite of useless Florida pythons! 25 select snake hunters and a thousand non native pythons wasted.

“Hunters bag 1,000 pythons in Florida Everglades”

It’s a start.

He is the program's most prolific hunter, capturing and killing more than 110 pythons over the past 15 months.

That's a little over 7 snakes a month and he's the most prolific. They will never get ahead of the problem at that rate.

I was just talking about this yesterday with my son. Eradicating an invasive species can be very difficult.

Tens of thousands of pythons are estimated to be slithering through the Everglades. Scientists say the giant constrictor snakes, which can grow over 20 feet long, have eliminated 99 percent of the native mammals in the Everglades, decimating food sources for native predators such as panthers and alligators.

JUST DAMN!

That settles it! Florida needs to introduce some predator animal that will eat or kill the snakes. Only a few animals who are tough enough without being extremely large.

How about a Honey Badger, Mongoose, Bobcat, Raccoon, Golden Eagle, Falcon , Black Bear or Coyote?

PETA is gonna hate people hunting and killing that many pythons.

Solution?

If PETA doesn’t want the hunted and killed, then, they should be hunting them down themselves, and shipping them back to Asia.

Give PETA a a few months to get the job done, and any pythons left after that are fair game.

They are there forever now but work hard to make them endangered at least. We don’t want them to eventually migrate up to the Okefenokee swamp and other south GA swamps.

I have a really poor view of the people who want to keep these creatures as pets, and then are careless about caging them before they escape to the wild. They are attention starved white trash, mostly. Anything to stand out.

The state of Florida has screwed around and screwed around with this for decades. Nibbling at the problem by issuing licenses.

Horse crap. State grant money to the universities for R&D into traps. $100 a pop for an adult, no bag limit. 5 year prison term and fines for those found to be raising them for monetary gain. Promote business opportunities for the skins and meat.

That is not a picture of 1,000 lbs. python Probably not even 20 lbs. either a wrong picture or the story is pure BS.

And the statement that they eliminated 10,000 pythons from the environment, if you consider the reproductive aspect. Hell, if you consider the reproductive aspect you could go to infinity. why stop at 10,000.

And why, if they want to get rid of pythons, do they limit the number of hunters to 25. Liberals just have to control something. How about if they put a tax on pythons? either the pythons will leave the country or have to get job.

Trump should send 10 percent of the almost 3 million strong Federal workforce (mostly useless bureaucrats collecting a GIGANTIC Federal salary) into the Everglades to help out.

For the first time in their careers, they would be performing a useful service.

Hargrove said he was driving slowly along a canal and looking through the grass when he spotted the 11-foot-2-inch-long male snake along a levee.
That's well over two miles of pythons overall. Thanks dennisw.
