Does anyone know if the deputy that killed the snake was disciplined in any way for the unneccessary killing of the EDB?

Does anyone know if the snakes (and other animals) in this so-called "Environmental Study Center" are given any legal protection?

I spent some time on the web trying to find info on the park where this occurred, but found very little. Perhaps someone here has more info or a contact person. All I was able to discover is that the "English Creek Enviromental Center" is approx 380-400 acres administered (owned?) by Hillsborough Community College. Apparently, they use the property for certain environmental education programs and rent the facilities/buildings in the park. I couldn't find any specific info on protection of the animals or plants in the park.

I sent an email to the only email contact that I could find for the center. I'll let y'all know if I get a response.

FYI, the email contact is webb@hccexchange.hccfl.edu
