Then again, their pelts are worth a lot which is why they got here to start with.

Not even close or they would be on the verge of extinction, a modern day rapper would struggle to eak out minimum wage.

So, the 1 guy who can save the state from Pythons, is locked up in prison.
Looking at you Gov. Desantis.
Damn, what a great plot for a movie too.

this is way easier that y'all are making it.

1. allow coonasses to capture as many Nutrias from Louisiana as they want to bring with them to Florida

2. allow them to capture as many Pythons in Florida as they want as long as they can prove they're using Louisiana Nutrias as bait.

3. allow them to sell the Python meat to crabbers, alligator hunters, etc. to use are their bait.

4. Get the Discovery channel to film it all for the next season of "Swamp People - Florida man vs Coonasses"

Again this IS NOT TRUE

Everything I've read so far as hunting says live capture by hand, noose, trap.

As far as transporting them, I'm in error since it is illegal to transport live pythons by vehicle---again, according to what I've read.

Once captured, they can be dispatched by the hunter by destroying what little brain they have either by knife, some other sharp implement or by gun.

Right because it's extremely hard to consistently kill snakes in the everglades without trapping them first They're saying that because it's common sense.

They're damn near impossible to see amongst their surroundings, they can move relatively quick when you get up to them, and you don't have a big target to hit if you're shooting at them to ensure a guaranteed kill without them slithering off to maybe die somewhere, they're thick and tough as shite EVERYWHERE BUT their heads

My friends snag them then usually just stab them in the skull or chop off their head. Usually they're "trapped" for a couple of seconds. That's all they mean by "humane kill."

Current regulations say you have to catch the python live, by hand and dispatch it later.

THATS NOT TRUE

That doesnt sound "cool", that sounds scary as heck!

Ask Hulk Hogan. He had 2 pythons.

Wow I thought that Alligator had killed the python in the second video when he clamped down its body. Crazy to see the python wasn’t only unharmed but that the alligator actually retreated. No wonder Florida has a problem.
