My comment was about loosing snakes. That in some cases makes those puppies and kittens subject to death worse than freezing. IMO.
If that makes me one of the "ignorant, heartless morons" in your opinion than I accept that as a compliment.
(Though you did not address me specifically you were asked to "educate" me specifically. Thanks. But no thanks. I said that I object to releasing snakes into the wilds (public?) and do not see what makes my opinion so controversial.)
FYI, the VAST majority of the pythons inhabiting the ‘glades currently were “released” by Hurricane Andrew back in 1992 from a VERY secure, high dollar breeding facility through no fault of the owner.
The number of snakes ‘released’ by owners is puny compared to that mass release from a destroyed facility.
The numbers of “missing mammals” is also a bogus figure padded by politicos and animal rights freaks.
For all that there are “bajillions of them running loose” down there, the professional hunters seem to be having a very hard time *finding* them.
Stop believing the liberal media.
Try a little [politically unbiased] research into the situation.
It’s also common knowledge that the photo of the ‘exploded’ python/gator was staged.
The gators are definitely winning the food chain foot race.
