The bit I heard had the "Pet Industry Lawyer" saying that. Though honestly, a lot of everything else this "advocate" said was just as damaging. The researchers they interviewed were (as far as I listened) ubiquitously stating that mammal populations have plummeted, it is obvious that it is the fault of the Burmese pythons, and that listing them was crucial in stopping their spread to the entire lower third of the United States.



Needless to say, I was a tidge miffed to hear a radio station I had put so much faith to give accurate reporting cover the story in this way. My own fault. I should have realized they are still "the media".
