Correction sorta, well more like additional context. The Burmese Python issue definitely started out as a few individuals being released by owners who ignorantly released them but the real problem is that now there is a breeding population. That was caused in 1992 when Hurricane Andrew swept thro south Florida and hundreds of Burmese Pythons escaped from an exotic reptile breeding facility. https://www.nwf.org/Magazines/National-Wildlife/2024/Fall/Animals/Burmese-Python-Parasite#:~:text=WHEN%20HURRICANE%20ANDREW%20ripped%20through,a%20destroyed%20reptile%20breeding%20facility.

I wasn't mentioned as worlds laziest, W me. Also, since I'm lazy, I think it would be cool if there was like a link repository where we could check videos and papers you found while doing research.
