The damage has been done, I have said many times that if we don't watch ourselves then "they" will watch for us.



Most all of this has come to light because the media doesn't have to spoon feed the public when another large constrictor is found in the wild because most people HATE snakes.



The majority of Americans don't even realize that one loose non-native constrictor will do far less damage than the (probably) thousands of other non-native's like the nile pearch that Florida fish and game brought in to eat vegatation in the lakes... that one didn't work well.



I do hear what you are saying and all I can do is feel sad that we have this as an issue, and we don't make people accountable for their actions. Trust me I feel your angst...frustrating.



Take care

Joel
