This post is out of place, I don't know what happened to the one I was responding to?? It's gone.

I havn't read any of his "Israel" posts, but he may just be expressing his Christian support for Israel as God's chosen people, not that he would necessarily condone all of their actions. The Israelis have historically made bad decisions and been out of God's will. I'm not sure about the "killing of women/children/& handicapped that your are talking about. But I guess this is the wrong thread for that discussion anyway.

Non-native fish, birds, animals and reptiles should be banned, illegal to possess by anywhere but a zoo, university or research facility.

Florida native species are loosing ground to non-native species every day. Tilapia and snakeheads are taking over fresh water, iguanas and even monitor lizards are affecting bird populations and very destructive to homes and landscaping. Now python and boa populations are exploding.

Get a dog or cat people. What's wrong with you?

[woeisme1]

That's all caused by stupid people who never thought that a snake that grows as big as a boa can be so hard to care for so they let them go when they get so big. Stupidity. Same thing that started the iguana problem - people letting them go after they get too big and too expensive to feed.

You should have asked for two non-bratty boys instead.


I didn't know God made them that way.

[ubrew12]

Give it a little of its own medicine.

[daisyjingles]

My sympathies to those who loved the child who died.

[woeisme1]

Mine too. What a needless tragedy.

[mejordelahistoria]

well at least the mother stopped dating the other white trash that owned a salt water crocodile....... conservatives, conservatives......

[ubrew12]

Well, the planets going to get hotter, and tropical species will be migrating northward. Say hello to pythons, malaria, yellow fever, and a host of other critters and diseases.

Someone released a Burmese python into the Everglades after he/she grew tired of their pet. That person just committed murder. These pythons are exploding their populations, and more of these kinds of deaths are going to happen.

Great job of half-a$$ed reporting here!!

This was a really big snake 12 foot, the real article does not say if it was male or female, either way it puts the snake at over 150 lbs. What amazes me that at 10am none of the adults in the house had checked on the child???

I have a family friend who rescues big snakes like this, he has also had some of his snakes used in movies and one of his is a 12ft. Burmese Python and she is beautiful weighs about 160lbs and is friendly and likes to be touched, but when she's in a foul mood even the handler exercises great caution and he's BIG dude. He also has enclosures for his big snakes that are reinforced and probably more secure than a bank vault.

As a responsible pet owner I know that the big snakes are not a good mix with young children or smaller pets, to a big snake it is a food source. In this case no doubt the man owner the snake before this little girls was born, but just plunking a screen over a fish tank is not secure if the snake wants out.

It is a shame that this little girl died from a preventable accident.

"unsecured predator"?
Are you implying that it's O.K. to keep predators, as long as they are "secured"?

If they are secured, they can do no harm to anyone. But the responsibility that comes with having such an exotic pet must be taken seriously.

These two didn't and their daughter is dead as a direct result of their negligence.

I see a nice pair of boots with that snake. I say lets go hunting we can feed the poor. I say it is open season.

[dwilson59]

I would recomend a nice 12 gage semi auto.
