Good point Greg,
We need to unite as a group of they will pick us apart. I would say even the minor screw ups we have done do not touch the effects of man.
If it was for environmental reasons then they wouldn't have a small season for burmese pythons to be collected in. They would stop building houses shopping centers and fragmenting whats left of the natural habitat. Main reason "invasive" species can make an impact is because we have already killed off (reduced to low numbers) the animals that would contend for that niche. The states/government purposely introduced cane toads, hogs, sport fish etc years ago wish have a more devasting effect but not hears of that.
Deaths by reptiles is extremely low and probably isn't even in the top 20 for deaths/injuries to people by animals.
Its nothing more then politics as usual because someone has a "hard on" for reptiles.
Probably start going after guns in the same manner. They go for assualt (aks, ARs),then maybe some pistols, trim down on the shotties, etc. Just big govenrment trying to flex it muscle and be sneaky at the same time.
