Impact (in numbers) of Invasive reptiles on Florida?
I'm making comparison charts to try to explain to people why these anit-reptile laws are often rushed and based on fear, not facts. One of the charts will show the number of animals killed by cats each year vs. the number of animals killed by the invasive reptiles of Southern Florida. While I found the cats information, I can't find information on Florida. I know it's out there because I've used it before, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. Any help?
The other charts will include:
Dog related deaths VS snake related deaths
Deadly human communicable diseases from cats and dogs vs reptiles
US map showing where invasive reptiles are vs. where feral cats are
Any other ideas or help are appreciated, if someone has already done this sort of thing.
