I believe you are correct about this Tom...BUT...no offense to the water management people and other individuals associated with them of course...but they are all not the sharpest tools in the shed. I believe the lie about the employee being chased back to their truck by the giant Burm and the Burm sniffing hunter could partially explain the delay in jumping on the money bandwagon.



They have absolutely known there were snakes out there but probably thought...no biggie. That is until HSUS and other groups stepped up and make a big deal out of it...then the jump was made to the money train.



Would anybody put it past employees to release more Burms and AFRocks in order to get a multi-million dollar grant?
