I am always amazed to see THIS quote being used over, and over and over in this fight...



"The Burmese python and these other alien snakes are destroying some of our nation's most treasured--and most fragile--ecosystems."



IF that was a statement that was NOT meant to be a loaded cannon - That SHOULD say -



"The Burmese python and these other alien snakes are helping to divert public attention away from all of the other significantly more serious problems facing the everglades --including other some seriously invasive alien species, like Feral Hogs and the Melaleuca Trees, that are now present in some of our nation's most treasured--and due in large part to habitat destruction, encroachment, and drainage & grading--most fragile--ecosystems."
