Because it’s an invasive species decimating native wildlife

Just catch them all and put them on a plane back to Burma. What could go wrong?

Snakes on a plane? I wonder what that would be like.

This. It got that big by eating the wildlife that is supposed to be there.

These are people's escaped pets. Not only are they fucking up the ecosystem, they are cross breeding with other snakes and creating aggressive hybrids.

This will only get worse as the average temperature increases.
