How 'bout this, a bounty on free ranging cats, hogs, and pythons, could put thousands, millions back to work, clean up the environment, and feed many hungry people. I know Hsus and Peta won't go for it, but what about getting the country back on its' feet? I see a solution, those who want to make more will work harder, and this will save millions, possibly billions in eradication efforts that don't work, while actually helping the ecosystem by eradicating non-native species. Habitat destruction? Not as much as compared to the destruction of the Everglades that has been happening for decades, perhaps a century, can't be done? We did a pretty good job with natives, passenger pigeon, buffalo, put a price on its' hide, pelt, head, and suddenly something worthless becomes worth something. I say let's put America back on its' feet!
