I think Cas is trying to make niles monitors and their keepers the culprid(the bad guys) and place blame on only those two.

I, on the other hand, place little blame of niles, their keepers, and even importers. I blame the changed enviornment. As in, man changes the enviornment and wants the old lifeforms that no longer fit the new Fla. to still be there like it was before man moved in and destroyed the native habitat, or maybe rearranged it to fit us and something new(rats, armadillos, nutria, pigeons, english sparrows, starlings, plus these new ones, the list is endless)

The concept is simple, he wants to blame a small segment. Something you possibly can get a handle on. You know, make it illegal to have/hold/pocess/trade/sell, niles, then all monitors. And irradicate the invasive niles. And he wants to ignore the real cause, the enviornment has been modifyied to no longer be acceptable to native species. Which is a much harder task to fix.

Only his approach, is a bandaid approach and will not fix anything. It will just give him and a few politicans, peace of mind. For a moment. But surely it will not fix anything. Cheers
