Sadly, we didn't ban the exotic pet trade here in Florida in the 1950s. I grew up going to the glades. In ponds where I used to see thousands of wading birds (no exaggeration) you are now lucky to see six. Between land development, sugar farming pollution, and pythons, boas, iguanas, and dozens of other escaped or released pets, the wildlife of my youth is mostly gone.

Yes, this is very sad. I also agree with you that “farming” meat, fish, and snakes always creates its own problems. Human beings are not yet capable of managing the environment the way Mother Nature intended. And we eat stuff!! Lots of stuff! While we pollute everything. Next trip to a new universe, I’m taking it!  |
