I'm not saying I doubt it, but without proof, we sound like a bunch of conspiracy theorists. (The sad thing with conspiracy theorists is that sometimes they're right!)

My question is, will the scientists at UF (Dr. Frank Mazotti) release their findings prior to the end of the USFWS comment period?

If so, and the statements made in the original post are true, this will utterly derail their attempts to place these animals on the injurious list.

If the statements made in the original post are true but they are not released prior to the end of the comment period, can we get the 60 day comment period extended due to the fact that this is the most scientifically relevant information that exists thus far?

If the statements made in the original post are not true, it will certainly be used against us in a severe way (not the statements made in the post, but the data - the fact that the burms survived).

We need some credible proof of this assertion. To say: "All Florida Burmese Pythons that were tagged for the invasive python study have been found dead" and then say: "I am not stating this as absolute fact" sounds like it comes straight from a paper written by the USGS until we have credible proof. Let's not fall into the same classless-class of the Department of the Interior organizations (USGS, USFWS, NPS/ENP). We should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
