I don't think you're giving enough credit to the Florida Fish and Wildlife department and their hunter licensing requirements. The logistics of live trapping might sound politically correct but it will not be as effective as putting a price on the head of all the invasive species. While no solution will ever be perfect and there will always be people you can label "John Q. Idjit", a bounty system, in my opinion, will be far more effective towards cleaning up the Everglades. Of course, that's only if removing the invasive species is truly the goal!! That begs the question.........how can people that are supposedly concerned with the invasive species in the Everglades think that banning pythons and boas will have any affect on the current (long) list of invasive species currently residing and damaging a fragile ecosystem?? Let's talk about the current mis-guided attempts at correcting an ecosystem that man has screwed up a long time ago in uncountable ways!! I don't know you but instead of playing with semantics, give us your thoughts on how to address the current list of invasive species damaging the Everglades taking into account the numbers of invasive species and having as a goal, the ultimate eradication of all non native species currently residing in the Everglades?
