I started this thread because this is the stuff we just don't here about. All we hear about is that the burms are killing all of the native animals. That just isn't true.



I have been out in Louisana, and out that way. They have highways that are bridges over their ecosystems, like swamps, that run for miles and miles. Bridges don't disrupt the natural flow of things the way mother nature intended them to be.



Look at Aligator Alley. Look at all the dirt that was brought in to build it up. And those tiny bridges every so often are a joke. When you alter an ecosystem it is no longer the way mother nature created it, therefore it will not function the way it was suppose to.



Tom, you have seen first hand, a lot of the things that go on, for one you live in the Everglades, or if not, right on the edge. Those pythons in reality aren't doing much harm at all. The pythons do eat animals, but they are being eaten also. So they take, and they add to the food chain.



All the media does is slams the pythons and reptile owners for the destruction of the ENP and we all know, that simply isn't true. I don't believe the ENP can even be restored at this point, there has been too much damage, and that damage was caused by humans and not burms or any other animal.



For those of you that don't understand about the canals, picture a piece of graph paper. The lines on the graph paper are the canals. That is what the land would look like from a plane.



When you look at the ENP, people say, the burms don't belong there. Well, that might be true, but what about all of the other stuff that doesn't belong there. Those burms are nothing compaired to what the real issues should be.



I wonder if there is any way we can use this information in our strategy against the snake ban. Is there a way to get tv shows to show this kind of stuff?
