Mr Roy's Rant!!!!

[Valigator]

Oh and I left out a story here...there was a guy by the name of Bill Haast in Miami since I think the 40's or 50"s he ran the Miami serpentarium...very famous here...milked snakes provided anti-venom etc...well he closed up shop in Miami and moved about 2 miles from the man I described above...then this freak..let loose from his property, cobras all kind of exotics when he was done with them or couldn't find the room for them, no body knows but all of a sudden Punta Gorda was over-ridden by exotics....now my friend is famous, he was the first man in the fishing hall of fame, famous for shooting, and my friend is a huge bird hunter with very expensive bird dogs...he lost two bird dogs to cobras, which are not native to Florida, he deduced that Bill Haast was releasing these snakes and his bird dogs were victims of some of these releases..he made a stink to anyone who would listen...accused Bill Haast in the paper etc for mismanagement of his exotics....next thing ya know, his property was red-tagged....and so was anyone Else's that complained about Bill's presence in Punta Gorda...

Ps My friend spent 57, 000 dollars in attorneys fees, before some guy at fish and game said in a whisper by the way, "John its a loosin battle, pay for the states property and we will make it all go away"...
