Did anyone else catch that program on NatGeo tonight?
They never even once mentioned Hurricane Andrew. They placed all of the blame on keepers and pet owners for the python's introduction even despite the complete lack of evidence for this. They showed Rodda's USGS map, saying pythons could spread from San Francisco to Washington D.C. They even said that the pythons can survive freezing temperatures. Obviously, Florida's recent freeze was "conveniently" left out. I Wonder why. They also bought up the Burm/Afrock hybridizing but again conveniently left out the fact that the offspring would likely be sterile.
There was really only a 5 second blurb about us being "upset about the legislation". That was it. There were NO other facts for our side.The show was pretty much what I expected it to be: complete Burm crap.
