Typical cops... 199 rounds probably missed completely. Christ, one shotgun blast to the head at close range is all it would take. Stupid, stupid cops. > Afterwards, folks started bringing forth stories of missing animals, > mostly dogs and cats, but some small pigs were also included. > Now, the stories out of South FL, Everglades area, of lots of large > snakes, Boas, etc, that are breeding like rats after being turned > loose by owners because they were getting too expensive to feed! Florida is an environmental disaster... Piranhas and South American cichlids (oscars, peacock bass, etc) breeding in the rivers, god-only-knows how many species of parrot flying around and breeding and of course all the non-native snakes. Not sure if the snakes are breeding, but there are certainly enough of them.
