i don't get why killing animals is considered protecting animals.

Survival of the fittest. That's how nature works.

The problem is that these snakes aren't in florida naturally.

 

[chuckddd]

Florida is fucked. We should build a giant fence that keeps the snakes

Spoiler

and people

confined to the state.

How to get rid of them? easy. Put a bounty on them and turn it into an industry. You can make all kinds of stuff with snake skin. When people know you can make money out of it human greed takes over.

Edit:

*25 dollars for every python skin delivered to the US wildlife agency.
*Use the skins to make an assortment of apparel and accessories.
*Turn it into a state-owned corporation and revitalize the garment industry in FL.

beaten.

Yeah, Florida has a similar problem with wild boars, especially in Central Florida. My brother-in-law goes on hunting trips there all the time since the overpopulation is an issue. Plus, those things are just nasty. If they get the chance, they'll impale anything around them. His dog has to wear a kevlar vest for safety.

Speaking of boar, they should just do what Texas did with their wild boar issue and let people shoot these things from helicopters with sniper rifles.

Lol.

If they caught one female with 87 eggs, there are probably several hundred with 87 eggs they didn't catch.

The mosquito is an essential part of the diet of a lot of other stuff we don't want dead.

Cockroaches on the other hand...

I thought Mosquitos specifically were one of the species that we could remove entirely and not have much of a knock on effect.... I don't believe it's the primary diet for anything that doesn't eat a whole bunch of different bugs.

Python mousepads!

Python console skins. Python cell phone covers.

biodiversity is good for humans, and we are the fittest

Humans created the problem in the first place, so we are kind of obligated to fix it.

Snakes play a vital role in their ecosystems (this doesn't apply to the pythons in Florida), without them, rats, mice and other rodents would run even more rampant then they already do.

If any animal needs to be wiped off the Earth, its the mosquito, complete waste of DNA.

how the hell would you get rid of mosquitoes?

 

[n64coder]

So what is the natural predator of a giant python in Burma/Africa?

 

[equap]

fuck the assholes who buy these snakes!!!

 

[ghostofsparta]

I would love some python boots.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Can these guys survive in Canada? We have lots of raccoons, squirrels, pigeons, please feel free to eat them all.

 

[out0v0rder]

One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine.

lol you got me. while reading the article i could hear his voice saying Burma whenever i read it.

 

[Chuckl3s]

The Mrs upon seeing this thread my dick.

Would too!

Edit: Didn't realize it was an old ass thread.

 

[akira28]

I'm ready to eat some lemon pepper battered, chicken fried python with some goddamn ranch sauce baby. Where do I bring the keg?


I am also willing to sport a python skin codpiece.

 

[scar tissue]

fuck the assholes who buy these snakes!!!

Fuck you too buddy!
Not every reptile owner is an irresponsible asshole. Most aren't, in fact.

They're cold-blooded, they'd freeze to death here. Pretty sure they couldn't even make it to winter, much less through it.

 

[Devolution]

Now they're holding a hunting contest for pythons in an attempt to control their population.

they're not things, they're living creatures! geez the comtempt some people have....

if they're here they play a role, however ugly we find them to be.

Fuck you too buddy!

it's irresponsible to import alien species. and the proof is right there in Florida with many snakes running rampant.

Wild boars are terrifying animals.
