Of what? That is the question... Of balance? Balance is overrated and put above life most times - Big mistake. Specially because we, humans, are too small to see the big picture at work. First, it was the horror; thousands of pythons were taking over the Glades, able to kill even gators, unstopablle. Oh my. So, people started shooting them left and right. But they forgot one simple thing: gators evolved in the glades, they conquered their place there. Pythons did not... and nature always has a last word in these situations. Turns out that both India and Florida are hot, but Florida stills has to deal with Winter. India doesn't. That is the factor why pythons will never quite take over (or did you think that good old Florida herpers didn't also use heat suplies,like the rest of us?). That makes the python hunting a simple case of animal murder and the mother of all hypocrisy, since you now have federal laws stating that you need a permit to own a python, but you can kill them at will and be a national hero. Go figure.
