I agree that burms do have a negative impact on the ENP, but with that said how many citizens are traveling to the park to see the muskrats and marsh rabbits in comparison to the now highly sensationalized burmese python?

The Cumberland Island National Seashore promotes the idea of visiting their park in order to see feral horses.

"Numerous species call Cumberland Island home. From threatened and endangered manatees and sea turtles to over 300 species of birds, the sights are endless on Cumberland Island. Often on a single trip, visitors may see wild turkeys, armadillos, feral horses, vultures, dolphins, and lizards all in the same day."

Granted, the python is a predator so a direct comparison on the environmental impact won't work, but understanding the social value of these animals is also important.

Have you been able to correlate a direct economic impact to agriculture or any other business sector? And I ask this to establish impact in easily understood terms (i.e. number of endangered species killed, lost revenue, etc.) because sooner or later pythons in the park will be big business, look how many TV shows have already started cashing in.
