This is sad but good at the same time. Maybe they should be relocated, not killed...

Sounds like a episode of the Simpsons.
They should relocate them or put them in a zoo that could handle a snake like that.

You said it
But we must not forget pythons have been around for a long long time, in their natural habitat they figth danger every single day (and yes in the florida everglades in the oposite of what has been said they do have predators, from gators to birds of prey and from snapping turtles to racoons all of wich can take young pythons, and some like gators even full grown ones) and they make it, they have a increadble capacity to stay unseen, in my opinion there wont be a "mass killing" there will be some probably few dumer ones killed. This politician wants basicly to make campaing against thouse "monsters" to be the "hero wich destroyed those people eating beasts" and self promocion at the snake´s cost, nothing more, the snake its a way to make itself noticed. And I dont beleave that there is such number of snakes in the everglades, its a natural evoirement like anyother, the snake its filling a practicly empty nich same it ocupys in its natural india, can only provide for a certain number of snakes

I wish I could go around beating the $hit out of stupid people but due to legal issues I can't. Buts that is just my opinion.
Unfortunately those snakes are going to need to be put down - zoo's are already stocked up and irresponsible pet stores (and owners) go around selling/buying these things as babies like they're hot schnit.
The shop I work in won't sell anything larger than a red tail boa, and we make sure the buyer's are well aware of the size they'll grow to.
Funny how it takes a child's death to get anything started on this epidemic - gotta love politicians and their fake BS.

Was there any point in this? All i did is state what i think.. If that was my daughter that was killed by a snake, I'd make it my life's work to kill them all. Everybody is different.. I'm going to let this go at that.. No need to start a pissing contest.

That girl was killed by a pet, though. Not a wild/feral animal that had been released - it's a different argument at that point, and just as much the fault of the parents for keeping an animal big enough to see their kid as a prey item.

Yes ,you stated what you think but others have same right.
Snakes actually keep vermin populations in check thus preventing / curtailing Lyme disease , hantavirus,etc. They serve a purpose.
Years back due to rattlesnake rounds ups disease spread due to vermin population explosion.
Some people are afraid of snakes like Floridas Sen. Bill Nelson .
I dont disagree with the fact that pythons dont belong wild in the evergaldes.
I just dont think nearly the numbers they claim nor that they do much if any real damage to native fauna.
If they are worried about native fauna ban the developments and assorted malls that are being built around the area.
I hope countless non pythons arent shot during this snake hunt .
