OMG, can u spell exposing their true agenda? If they claim pythons are dangerous and should be banned, why r they against removing them from wilds of everglades where the public contact is more likely to occur than in somebody’s home terrarium??? Putting animals first is AR agenda,, public safety is the distraction they use to put animals first.

Animal Rights Group Blasts Senator's Plan for Florida Python Hunts

U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is calling for tens of thousands of pythons believed to be in the Everglades to be hunted and killed, a proposal blasted by animal rights advocates.
Nelson sent a letter on Tuesday to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, asking for permission to have deputized agents and volunteers kill as many of the snakes as possible during an organized hunt.
The senator's request comes after a 2-year-old central Florida girl was strangled by an unlicensed pet python in her home.
Nelson hosted Salazar on a tour of the Everglades last month, in which he advised the secretary of the python problem. He estimated as much as 100,000 of the snakes may be in the park.
In response to the senator's proposal, officials from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals suggested that Nelson focus on banning the import and private ownership of pythons.
"Because as long as individuals are allowed to acquire these exotic animals, they will continue to be abandoned outdoors and attack humans," PETA said in a statement obtained by FOXNews.com. "These animals have ended up in Florida through no fault of their own, and they should be dealt with in the most humane way possible."

Any organization that kills 97% of the animals that come into its "care", and indeed, believes that animals WANT to be killed by them, to take them out of this horrible world, can hardly be said to "put animals first". PETA's motives are NOT based on any love for animals, so much as a hatred for humans. They believe, in a nutshell, that animals are all better off dead than living in the same world as us. I thought that Nelson's bill WAS intended to ban the importation and ownership of Pythons, not just Burms, either. You can guarantee that any Python Ingrid Newkirk gets her hands on is gonna be one DEAD snake, just like the dogs, cats, chickens, etc. that have fallen into her clutches.
