Sorry, I cut and pasted the wrong FWC link. Here is the correct one:
http://myfwc.com/NEWSROOM/10/south/News_10_S_ROC_SpecialSeason2.htm
This is not a general "media report", it's the FWC website.
-----
"Based on observations and reports from python removal permit holders, biologists and hunters, we believe 50 percent of the wild Burmese python population died as a result of the record cold weather," said Scott Hardin, the FWC's Exotic Species Section leader. "These seasonal kills are beneficial in helping to control nonnative reptile populations."
-----
I don't see anything about the 50 percent figure being a minimum, nor anything about not knowing how many snakes were killed. So there's a big difference between what he said on the FWC website and what you are saying he said at some point. I really don't care if he is a "good guy", a "bad guy" or a "neutral guy", I don't like spin and incomplete information.
