Burmese massacre campaign in the United States


Florida authorities plan to hire many hunters to kill Burmese python, invasive species that harm indigenous wildlife.

The South Florida Water Authority has started a campaign to hire 25 snake operators to kill the giant Burmese pythons that are raging in the area, CNN said.

"Burmese python is eating everything in the Everglades swamp where native wildlife resides," said conservation biologist and reptile expert Joe Wasilewski.

The $ 175,000 trial project will last two months and employs many experts to track python, the hardest part of the hunt, and killing them.

Hunters are paid $ 50 for each python of 1.2 meters and are rewarded with an extra $ 25 for every 30cm of animal length. They also receive an additional $ 100 if they detect a nesting insect.

Burmese python is growing exponentially in the Everglades after pet owners drop them in the wild. A program called "Python Challenge" last year called on amateur hunters to kill or snatch a special area for destruction, after which hunters were allowed to sell leather and pork meat for profit.
