I hear what you are saying Ernie. Humans have been releasing animals as long as we have been in existance...intentional and unintentional. Sometimes the animals can make it...but most of the time they don't. Sometimes, humans can make a difference and other times...well we are just irrelevant. If that is what the scientist are trying to determine in the ENP...then let them go for it. There have been a lot of smart people comment on these threads...much smarter then I...but what most have seemed to miss, IMHO...is this is all about politics. Bill Nelson and the DOI see a cash cow...and it doesn't matter who's rights or freedoms they have to abuse, they are going to milk that cow. Proof of that is in the very legislations that they are proposing. I do find it hard to beleive that a few scattered releases or escapes caused what we have in the ENP...but...again...I'm not a scientist and it's just an opinion. I would think that, as some have said, there is a smoking gun to where these pythons began to establish at. We all want to exist on this ole world as long as we can...but the truth is, it is in constant change...sometimes from things we can control and other times from things we cannot control. I don't spend a whole lot of time worring about the things I can't control. To me...pythons in the ENP...is nothing compared to the big problem...the loss of freedoms for innocent people. Where does that stop at?
