The Florida Python Challenge ran from August 5 - 14th, bringing professionals and novices alike together to hunt the state's most concerning invasive species - the Burmese Python. The origin of the Burmese Python in Florida is debatable, but the destruction the species has caused is apparent. These snakes are destroying Florida's native wildlife including bobcats, deer, foxes, rabbits, and even alligators. If they're not hunted and taken out of the equation, Florida's native wildlife will be decimated.
In the case of the Burmese python, the only option is to hunt them. As I said, I don't typically support culls but when you consider how truly dangerous an invasive species like the Burmese Python is, it's the only reasonable solution to manage the population. Invasive species cause significant challenges to an ecosystem / habitat including environmental destruction and wildlife decimation. As I reported, Florida's native wildlife is being destroyed by the pythons which could push some of those species to extinction in the area. When it comes to protecting native wildlife, one must do everything possible to prevent extinction which is why the eradication of pythons is a necessary event.
