They think that if irresponsible people release them in the wild that they
are dangerous to fish and wildlife. That has happened in some cases with
some species, but I don't see it. The same could be said for many animals
that aren't illegal.

In Australia rabbits are an introduced species and reproduced, well, like rabbits and became a real problem! I had an Australian tee shirt on with a little bunny with 'x's in it's eyes (cartoon death)!

there are some extra pythons in Florida that could be relocated -- they'll
take care of any unwanted creatures, even small farmers

In the python world, eating a small farmer would be akin to killing a cop i.e., not a smart move.

Better not to keep a smaller farmer as pet then? ;-)

I guess it depends on how small a farmer we're talking then.

well in this case it was not a smart move at all because they cut the
python open (I assume they didn't do an X ray) to find the farmer

You better believe it. The most loving creatures I've ever known.
I guess it depends on how you raise/love them though.

Here's an old favorite -

Mia lives on here still as she's not forgotten.

Sadly, there will always be irresponsible pet owners. Ferrets have been
domesticated, just like cats. But, like cats, they are also hunters.
So when released in the wild they revert back to using those teeth and
claws to bring down prey.

Weren't ferrets used as ratters on ships? Cats, too. Sugar gliders,
nope. LOL

No wild ferrets now except for the "black foot" relatives.
Release your pet ferret into the wild now and it will die
in a short time. They've been domesticated for too long.

Yeah...and those evil owners literally starved the ferrets to
near death so they would do that.
