Field biologists discovered an 18-foot invasive Burmese python weighing 215 pounds in the Florida Everglades. Researchers from the Conservancy of Southwest Florida believed their scale was broken when they weighed the beast, as none of them could comprehend a Burmese python would ever grow so huge, National Geographic reported Tuesday. The snake, the largest ever discovered in Florida, was captured using a male scout snake with a GPS tracker attached to it, the outlet continued. Burmese pythons are effectively impossible to spot without scout snakes, according to BroBible. (Tweet/Photo)

IIRC, this all started when somebody either released a cargo of these into the Everglades or somebody's exotic pet got too big for the owner to handle. Exotic pets should not be legal in this country, especially things like pythons. These things need to be destroyed.

The apex predator was first introduced to Florida in the 1970s... Implies that it was done with intent - ?

#3, that has been in effect for years. They pay a bounty by the foot, and extra over a certain length. People trying, but the damned snakes are elusive as hell, the swamp is difficult to travel in, and ONE female can, like this one, have 122 eggs. Damned difficult to wipe out these damned things.

Re #5. They were imported for pets, but when someone's pet snake got too big.....turn it loose. That is how they were released into the wilds.

Another serious problem is that they breed with other types of snakes and become something else. It could become Jurassic Park in the Everglades. A few years back, one of them swallowed a fully grown alligator.

It's time to get inventive. If someone can come up with a commercially-viable use for these critters... either using the skin or the meat, or something.... so that others can make money hunting them, THAT will get enough people -motivated people- out hunting them, to control or reduce the population. Heck, if they become valuable enough, there will be enough active hunters to wipe them out completely!

Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court opinion that declared a “right” to abortion across the United States. “The fact that a large country with a long democratic tradition has changed its position on this issue also challenges the whole world,” said the Pontifical Academy for Life.“It is not right that the problem is set aside without adequate overall consideration,” said the academy. “The protection and defense of human life is not an issue that can remain confined to the exercise of individual rights but

Because when she went over to the Supreme Court, there were only pro-life protestors. She later admitted, “I don’t have any evidence” for the claim the court tipped off pro-life protestors.

The meeting with Telman Ismailov took place on Feb. 17, 2012 at the Moscow headquarters of AST Group, his vast holding company which once owned a publishing house, a tour company, and had a telecom division, according to the Moscow Times. Ismailov was accused in 2017 by Russian authorities of paying $2 million for the murder of two entrepreneurs a year earlier, Agence France-Presse reported.

Tensions between Russia and NATO member Poland have been cranking up to boiling point in recent days amid Russian claims that it has killed 'up to 80 Polish mercenaries' in missile strikes. The reported losses come on the same day that Russia confirmed it has removed a Polish flag from a memorial commemorating the murder of thousands of Poles by the Soviet Union in 1940. To the north, Moscow has been furious over Lithuania's blocking of EU-sanctioned goods from reaching the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, sandwiched between the Baltic state and Poland. This has prompted Poland to call on NATO to further bolster its security presence in the Suwalki Gap,

"Today’s Supreme Court ruling overturning #RoeVsWade will have deadly consequences, with the harm falling hardest on people of color who already face disproportionate discrimination in our country and grapple with a severe maternal mortality crisis," Milano wrote. "Banning abortion will disproportionately impact people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and those living in rural areas."
