it is wrong to single out one species at the expense of hundreds of other species of mammals, plants, fish and reptiles that are currently already entrenched in the Everglades and doing far more damage. If they were really concerned about "cleaning" up the Everglades, the list would sooooo much longer. Snakes just make a far better "poster" child than a "feral kitten" for the Everglades National Park and the State of Florida to slip their hands into the Federal Government Pork Barrel!!! I consider this nation to be in a crisis with the economy, national security and the war in Iraq/Afganistan in the news everyday and it just seems criminal that our Politician's are taking time away from these serious issues to discuss pythons and boas!! It's amazing that whenever I turn on the radio all I seem to hear are reports of how bad the economy is and how we need to create jobs.........well, obviously it's all lip service as they all seem very willing to sacrifice us and put many of us out of business. The sad part is when all is said and done......it still won't work!!
