Hundreds of hunters gather in the Glades to kill pythons

Unless you have rats, you don’t want cats.

I wonder what PETA’s response is to killing invasive species that are destroying the wildlife.

 

We have marsh rats where I live. They take cats hostage and sell them to the racoons.

 

Interesting thing, where I live there are very few cats. The ones that exist are strictly indoors. I think it's a combination of untenable winters and lots of wildlife (foxes, coyotes, wolves, etc.) that make cats endangered.

In Chile, they have a serious dog problem. Other than the upscale urban hoods, there are street dogs just about everywhere. Never seen anything like it.

 

in this ecosystem, nothing comes close to what pythons are doing. They could be the cutest cuddliest things on the planet and we would need to purge them.

Just got back from Ft Lauderdale. Iguanas were Everywhere. I'd seen them before in Puerto Rico but never that many in my son's neighborhood. You can't leave your door opened.

 

At least for now they are scared shitless by humans. LOL

 

I prefer taking care of rats myself....We had an infestation a couple of years back and I did my Bill Murray Varmint Cong impression as I was setting traps. I had so much fun that week me vs the varmints. I was pretty sure this was the last one when I posted this picture. It turned out there was one more after this one.

 

they are also now catching and tagging males and then when they see an aggregation of males in one area they go in and find the female the males are all chasing. take her out and leave the males to lead them to the next female.

 

After we are done killing Python; can we work on Java next...

 

A joke that about 6 people here will get

 

Thanks to my son I got the joke.

 

There's always one more.

 

I don't know why they have to have a "season" to catch these things. Make it open year round. Unless the only thing these hunters are doing it for is the prize money, then I get it.

 

I love it when the owners of "indoor outdoor" cry on FB that their cat went missing. I'm not sympathetic.

Maybe allow hunting all year long and up the prize at the end of the year.

 

You love it when the owners go missing?
