Self-Incrimination

Quoted in an August 30, 2009 article - Is Python Hunt Working?


"Zarmati said hunters don't get paid for catching the snakes. The FWC requires hunters to kill snakes on site and record the location where they were found......


...During the four-mile hike Zarmati found a corn snake, even a baby aligator, but not one python.

"It's hit or miss. Sometimes you find them. Sometimes you don't," Zarmati said.

He called it a quits at 1 a.m.

He did the math on the way back. 150,000 snakes. 13 hunters. Only 14 pythons have been caught. And after four hours of hunting, he found zero."


I'm trying to be nice - but I have to say that the fella sure ain't good with mathematical logic. But then again, he's got plenty of company in that camp.

So, let the State of Florida show us one of the reasons there is still a python problem in the Everglades. Will they do the proper thing & revoke this guy's license to hunt pythons? Heck no!!! He'll join others, like the infamous rescue owner that staged the python capture, and get off scot-free.

Mr. Zarmati may well be a good person - I'm not attacking his personal character. With that said, his ulterior motives may or may not show what kind of person he really is. As far as I'm concerned, he can still redeem himself with apologies & repentance.

Just in case the above link doesn't work here's a direct link to the article. www.justnews.com/news/20630645/detail.html

Later!
