Toy Rabbits Being Used a Bait to Capture Snakes ... Where? Where Else?
Remote-controlled robot rabbits are being deployed to help tackle Florida’s invasive python problem.
The Burmese python threatens the ecosystem of the Everglades by preying on wildlife, including wading birds, mammals and other reptiles.
The creatures are notoriously difficult to catch but the innovative solar-powered robots are designed to mimic marsh rabbits to lure the pythons out of hiding so they can be removed by agents in the Everglades.
That's probably humane. In one Denmark zoo they missed humane by at least a little bit by living too close to the big cats. They put out ads asking for unwanted house pets and horses to give to the big cats as live prey. Not quite human. Those snakes will definitely not be a good thing in the ecosystem in Florida.
