Since Zoo Miami is one of the overseers of the Python slaughter, I wonder if before the head chopping ceremony takes place, they could extract a few of the largest pythons to be part of the snake exhibit at the zoo.
I am sure the public, including me, would rather see these magnificent constrictors alive as they grow to their potential length of 20 feet or more over next few years instead of pictures of them with their heads chopped off.

I am always proud of the Silver Knight nominees from Miami-Dade County. When the winners are printed in The Miami Herald, the categories, from art to world languages, can be easily read.
