The everglades is MASSIVE, do you really think anyone has the manpower to eradicate burms from it? If it was even 20% the size it is now, do you really think that even then we have the power to kill every single one? without changing our mindset and being smarter about it?

Yeah I get what your saying... I'm still just having trouble with the reasoning.
Your saying that the damage they do is minor compared to the offsprings they will never have.
What I'm getting at is... It's already in your hands and dead snakes don't eat, dead snakes don't mate is saying.
The money saved from euthanising instead of catching, sterilising then releasing can be put to better use i.e more traps, more hunters.
Think of this as a scenario... your sterilised specimen gets released back into the glades, continues to grow then somehow manages to get back into someones backyard, media gets a hold of the story... what do you think happen then?
Joe public don't care bout no science mumbo jumbo, joe public only cares bout kickin arse and takin names yeeehahhh.
You gotta fight fire with fire on this one as that's the mentality of your enemy.
