There has been worldwide attention drawn to Florida FWC and the completely unprofessional manner in which they work with reptile keepers in Florida, how inept the system is at ensuring pro-active keepers can stay within regulatory guidelines and showing no concern for the lives of the animals kept. In what has become known as "The Holy Thursday Massacre", 34 captive bred constrictors were improperly and inhumanely killed consisting of reticulated pythons, burmese pythons and a gravid boa one month from giving birth to 32 hatchlings that was a legal, unrestricted pet that was killed out of sheer incompetence and the officers not properly recognizing the species they were killing.

This situation is unacceptable and even non-reptile keepers from around the world are working to correct this malfunction of the system in Florida.

Form letter (copy-paste-sign-SEND)
Governor DeSantis,
I am reaching out as a concerned citizen to make you aware and implore you to step in on behalf of your constituents.

On Thursday April 6th 2023 FWC officers killed 29 reticulated pythons, 5 Burmese pythons and a gravid Boa Constrictor in front of the owner and caretakers of these animals. The owner states he had these animals in the full knowledge and compliance of FWC. I would argue that regardless of compliance, the dispatching of these animals was uncalled for, not to mention the inhumane manner in which the four hour act was completed. I implore you to consider the difference between the intent of the laws/statutes/regulations and the letter of them.

Enforcement officers are able to determine in the moment if there's a violation; their decisions are not always correct (displayed by the killing of the Boa constrictor which is not a restricted species in FL). While human error is expected, handing down lethal "justice" is irreversible. Responsible law abiding keepers should be given the opportunity to plead their case before the courts. Had the animals been confiscated and surrendered to local rescues, the owner would have that chance.

I beseech you to stop the tyrannical and irreversible overreach of FWC by calling for the resignation of all FWC leadership, the immediate dismissal of each of the enforcement officers involved in the murder of 35 innocent animals on April 6th (Corteguera, Wright, Beppel, and Ryan).
Furthermore, I ask that you hault FWC's seizure and killing of animals for "Prohibited Species," until USARK Florida's lawsuit challenging the validity and constitutionality of these rules is resolved.
Sincerely,
