Oh no, too late. The poll is overs, with 9 to 1 in favor. The comments section seems to be more evenly split.

Not just Florida, my friend.  Google HR 669, HR 2811, and S 373.  These are national bans.  And, not just pythons.

i knew about the national level, i thought florida had went ahead and put a state wide ban in, i don't keep up with them unless they are stirring up crap for the rest of the country

Yeah, fair enough.  It just so happens that the two that are pushing it are from FL.

Well, to be fair, it's the only really good habitat in the continental US that can support a feral colony.  And they do have a Burm problem in the glades.  The state has already addressed the issue and have a reasonable system in place to control it.  Senator Nelson is a US Senator.  The only kind of law he can really influence is national.  The method he seeks to use is the Lacey Act, a national law.  It doesn't have any provisions for state be state evaluation of species.  It's a binary list.  You are in or you are out, nationwide.  So, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Not only were they not happy with the poll results and had to twist those, but they obviously were not happy with the comments so they deleted those as well!   :confused68:
