"Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar told CBS that the snake was eventually humanely euthanized."

The comment about Oprah was uncalled for Ghost...especially considering how she was just arrested for drug possession...apparently they found 200# of crack in her underwear..:)
As for the snake, can't say as its demise saddens me in the least bit; I hate snakes.

Snakes are not cuddly so there fore the lies don't mind if they are killed. In addition, they said they humanely put it down. All I know is that I have a couple a recurves would look great with Python skins on item.

I agree Bake. What makes a lions life any more important than this pythons? Im sure a zoo somewhere would have taken it. I happen to like snakes probably cuz everyone hates them.

"What makes a lions life any more important than this pythons? "
Just saying, pythons are an exotic species in the everglades and one they are trying to eradicate. The "humanely euthanized" comment is rediculous. Shot in the head at a distance would have been far more humane than messing with it and stressing it out until they humanely euthanized it.
