I saw a recent thread about capturing rats in Vietnam.
They put a bounty on the rats.
People opened up rat farms.
Take a look at the guy’s house to make sure he’s not raising them.

They need to add democRAT reptiles to this list. They are invasive, destructive and predatory too.

Today the Everglades are overrun with the giant snakes and it's had devastating consequences. A 2012 study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that after Andrew exacerbated the Burmese python invasion of the Florida Everglades, populations of raccoons and opossums dropped roughly 99 percent and some species of rabbits and foxes effectively disappeared. No more rabbits? No more raccoons? How horrifying!

Yes.
All the snakes were dead or killed when the guy got the prize. ;)

article:
"so participants had to document that each one was killed humanely." What!! Florida has surrendered before the war has even begun.
I've been told that a good way to catch a python humanely is to use a PETA member or "animal rights" activist for bait.

the guys in the fishing contest were stuffing the fish with weights.
the guys at the gun buy backs are 3d printing gun to sell to cops.
is it really a stretch to think this guy could have just purchased them and pocketed the difference in cost vs prize money?
To: blueunicorn6
They put a bounty on the rats. People opened up rat farms. LOL! Just like the guys who 3D print guns for buyback programs.
Turn wild python into a delicacy and that will solve the problem.

Apparently in India they once placed bounties on Cobra’s. And people started breeding cobras to collect the bounties.
When they stopped paying bounties, the breeders released their crop and they were worse off than when they started.

Dittoes. For the total, eradicating that many snakes is a HUGE effort. An ongoing effort.

“could have” is a far cry from “probably”.

“Take a look at the guy’s house to make sure he’s not raising them.”
This was actually a plot point on the recent (fictional) tv show “Killing It” that was about python hunters in Florida. Nobody could figure out how the hunter in the lead was beating them until they broke into his house and found he was raising snakes.
To: Red Badger
How does one kill a snake humanely.?
