The problem with your point is that the law states the EXACT opposite of what your saying. The animal in question is a Threatened Species. Protected by laws to not be killed and pushed into an Endangered or Extinct listing. Then we can go back to the point that 75% of Fla is Uninhabitable by people. Very easy to relocate an animal BACK INTO THE WILD miles away from People.

in regard to the original topic, you know how when it's cold the weather man will say it's 25 degrees, feels like 15 or something along that line? maybe that's the case with the snake based on alot of people's fears and paranoia. Rattle snake 7 feet, feels like 15
the snake is dead. the state makes sure of that. they pretty much kill anything over 6 feet. unless its on seminole land. The Seminoles wont kill anything because its a nusance. the release it all into remote areas.

Dangerous animals are released into the wild all the time. Its likely that more care would be taken with a larger animal to bring it somewhere far away from human development. Size is absolutely irrelevant, a huge rattler will be visible...a hatchling or pygmy rattler will fit in small spaces and find its way into your space much easier. They are both deadly...there is no reason to kill one and not the other. If you are going to kill a huge rattler, might as well kill every rattler. Gators don't compare to rattlers as size does matter with them in terms of threat.
Killing the largest and strongest animals weakens the population, these healthy animals are reproducing. Animals that are threatened need to be preserved. If not then we might as well sterilize the planet and pave it over so we are the only species.
eh, i don't really care guys, all i'm doing is commenting on the documentaries and shows i see on tv, they may be wrong, they may be misquoting, they may be old laws but like the guy above said, anything over 6 feet is auto killed. write florida state representives and not some guy who watches tv on the west coast
ps, i have seen some guys on these documentaries wrangle a snake or a gator and say i wish i could relocate it but the laws requires i kill everything over a certain size, however, i will donate the skin and meat so it's not a complete waste

I don't understand, the snake had been dead years ago... If the guy did anything wrong, he would be prosecuted already... Ophidiophobia will permit any type of snake, whether it's a rattle or rat snake, 3ft or 7ft, be killed upon encounter!!!

if its a threat its killed and thats just how it is. No questions asked. Im trying to become a Florida Wildlife Conservation officer and trust me thats just what they do. And where do you get 75% of florida is not suitable for the human poppulation have you every been here (outside of Orlando or a beach) no where is uninhabitable. Hell Disney was built in a swamp.Hell 50% is cattle land and other farms. Cant take it there cause thats would endanger livestock and people who work on the farms. its not that easy to just find a spot and let it go. It has to be state land and away from any population. And florida has too much of that. thats why we keep finding these animals coming into populated areas in the first place. theres nowhere for them to go.
You keep quoting that statistic, have you ever been to Florida? The Everglades are pretty much the only area completely uninhabitable and while large they dont account for 75% of our very large state.Mavrick813;4962834; said:
