You guys are my heroes and you stated everything I have been thinking since yesterday. Who knows how true the story is? Seems almost made for the media if you ask me. The compare/contrast is pure genius. Lets put it into perspective. If the snake truly did the deed than:

1) that dude should have had a permit

2) the snake should have been in a locked enclosure

3) with small children in the home, the locked enclosure, I feel, should be in a locked room.

At the very least the dude was a bonehead.... at the most, he was evil.



Perspective:

1) personal risk to python owners and family compared to risk from other hobbies, occupations and things which keep us well rounded and happy.

2) risk to the environment compared/contrasted with species/industries which would be exempted from federal legislation.

3) Benefits to us and society in general. Intrinsic, educational, monetary, etc.



Just a couple thoughts as I sip my morning coffee. Keep up the good fight, you guys rock!
