Quote:
For some Burmese pythons captured in the Everglades, the end of the line is a building in a warehouse district of Hallandale Beach.

All American Gator, which turns alligators into meat, belts, shoes and wallets, is the closest thing South Florida has to a python-processing plant. It was here that Josh Zarmati brought two pythons he caught in the Everglades.

Brian Wood, the company's president, was waiting. He has processed three snakes so far and anticipates more from the state-sanctioned python hunt that started last week and runs through April 17 in sections of the Everglades in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
No-one else to blame except the idiots who released these animals! No-one further to blame than the legislators who initially allowed them to be legally sold and purchased in the first place! Good to see they've thrown a ban on such animals and are pro-actively appear to be doing something about it!

The methods with the dispatching of these animals seems quite barbaric IMO! The article reads even worse!
