I don’t know where the $30K came from, but I welcome ANY effort to eradicate this species. I get the feeling that the average US citizen has no clue as to the severity of the problem in the Everglades.
This is WAY above my concern for the Ukraine. WAY above. I wonder what sort of plan they could come up with for a few billion Mitch dollars.
Regardless, more needs to be done. It’s not going to snow in Miami anytime soon (which would take care of most of them).
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, as I have no knowledge of these animals or of what Florida regulations are.
Why doesn’t the state declare a bounty on these snakes?
Yep! For a couple billion dollars tk fund a snake posse group, they could assemble a very large team of expert hunters and trackers, and make a huge dent In the snake problem down there.
the swamps are tough to navigate, and it wouldn’t likely result in all the snakes meeting their demise, but given enough $$ incentive, good folks would likely,jump at th3 chance to make a really decent income. That would be a few billion dollars well spent, as snakes are wiping out certain species in certain areas. Folks claim that the swamps are eerily devoid of creatures now in some places, because of the snakes
Declare them a pest species, open up a year-’round season (Florida may have already done this; I wouldn’t know, myself) and place a bounty of oh... $200 per dead snake. Send that cajun dude from Louisiana to help out.
