Oh I agree that forums are great for opinions, rants etc. I just don't like to see concerned folks spending lots of energy commenting on a fed proposal in a manner that can't be used...and then they think the agency completely ignored them. Doesn't help anyone make a better informed decision.

I get so tired of blaming the world's evils on snakes when there are all sorts of feral animals causing a lot more damage! Feral cats kill a huge variety of sensitive species and they can survive in many more habitats across the US than most snakes. No one seems to care that kitty is an indiscriminating killer. Goats, pigs, and cattle have decimated habitats and we hardly ever ban their commercial transport. Marine and air freight introduced malaria-bearing mosquito species to south Pacific islands and Hawaii which decimated most of the native birds. Yep, we also introduced the brown tree snake too.

There, that's my forum rant. Thanks for listening!
