Im in on that Tradgang python hunt in the everglades, lets do it during spring break.Back to the killing all snakes thing,,, it is really crazy.Venomous near your kids or dogs maybe.If you plan to utilize them, sure!Just cause theyre ugly to you???  My pop would of beat flames out of my a-- for any kind of wanton killing and my sons would be disgraced and ashamed of me.

Python:
 
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

I'll admit that I have a tendency to kill things that cause me serious problems. Rats, mice, certain insects, excess possums & racoons, etc. I've been known to leave things alone that I could kill but aren't a threat to me...like coyotes, foxes, skunks, crows and snakes. I've never experienced the gut-level fear and loathing which causes some grown men to kill snakes as fast as they find them, and because they can.

I'm in favor of the incidental harvesting of snakes for their skins, and I love a good skin-backed bow. I'm really not in favor of the "kill 'em all" philosophy though, as they are another valuable creature in our ecosystem.

Trespassers like the python...NOT included!

i almost stepped on a 4 1/2 foot black snake on opening day of turkey season saturday. he was really slow, probably sunning. black snakes are beneficial, so he left with his life.....  :D
