People keeping wild Animals

I have watching TV shows where people keep wild Animals. I guess I do not understand why people do this. It reminds me years ago when I was in Washington and An Airman kept Rattle Snakes in the Barracks. I do not know if he ever got bit but to me it is asking for trouble. If not for him his Barracks people could have got in trouble. People keep Big Snakes likes Burmise Pythons as pets and along as they are kept fed I gather they are not dangerouse but the minute they get Hungary guess what - I think they go after anything that they can swallow. I understand there is 50 thousand Pythons in Florida and they are starting to leave the Swamps go to where people live. I guess they have even found Anacondas which can grow to 20 or 30 feet long and have Girth maybe 2 feet wide. That would make a very dangerous Snake. I understand they are finding all kinds of dangerous animals in Florida and maybe the Soouth. There was an Article about many of the Pythons died because of being to cold.Would that make a dent in the Population of Snakes. I do not think so. What I saw in this program was they are shipping in Poises Spiders etc. I think people are crazy to want to have these kind of knd of animals in their house. Maybe the challenge of trying to make pet out of these animals but who is going win. A couple of years ago a Family I think in Florida has a Python for a pet and it go loose and killed on of the children and I guess tried to swollow the child. I guess we have wild Hogs in the South and they can be real dangerous. I read in the Past somewhere where the Farmers in the south would turn loose Hogs in a field that was full of Snakes and these Hogs would kill and Eat the snakes. That was one of ways that they got rid of Poisonous Snakes. I am confused as to again why people keep these type of Pets. There was a picture in the Paper a while ago where a Python tried to Swollow a Aligator and both died. I never will forget that picture. Oh well nothin I can do about itese type of things but it does Bother me. Enough said -Don
