>>I have a question about this statement in the above text:
>>
>>"The reptiles included in the proposal have posed no demonstrable threat to the environment, or human and animal health and safety."
>>
>>Can anyone steer me towards hard scientific data that supports this?


This question is indicative of just how a** backwards this all is. The basis of reason, logic and civilized debate is that those making a claim or putting forth a believe have the burden of proof. It's not up to others to disprove that claim or belief. If you believe the reptiles in question pose a threat to anything or anyone, present the "hard scientific evidence" to support that. I'm curious to see what "hard scientific evidence" there is to support the claim that any reptiles are a non-negligible threat to human safety. An "innocent bystander" is just as likely to get hit by lightning twice and then abducted by aliens than to get killed/injured by a rogue python.
