		<description> Or you could RTFA and see the reason for the parachutes.

You guys would make a much more credible case if you offered actual evidence for your opinions.</description>

		<description>All of the pet snakes I ever kept would eat dead prey, though admittedly some did need a bit of encouragement. 

Brown tree snakes don&#039;t seem to have a problem with dead prey- they can be trapped using &lt;a href=&quot;http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1644&amp;context=icwdm_usdanwrc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dead mice as bait&lt;/a&gt;, and have even been found to take &lt;a href=&quot;http://planet.uwc.ac.za/nisl/Gwen&#039;s%20Files/Other%20NISL%20courses/browntreesnake.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cooked spare ribs&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description> Our High School biology teacher always had to move the mouse around as if it was alive to get the snake to eat it. Perhaps that&#039;s one of the points of the parachutes, they&#039;re likely to catch in the branches and sway in the breeze</description>

		<description>I used to work for the Government Printing Office, and one of my favorite government documents ever was the resource guide about the Brown Tree Snake of Guam.

		<description>&quot;To keep the mice bait from dropping all the way to the ground, where it could be eaten by other animals or attract insects as they rot, researchers have developed a flotation device with streamers designed to catch in the branches of the forest foliage, where the snakes live and feed.&quot;</description>

		<description>Surprised no one has pointed out that swallowing the parachute (how would a snake remove it) is probably even more dangerous to the snake than the drugs</description>

		<description>The anaconda preys on caiman, but it&#039;s not a common food source when there&#039;s a bunch of easier prey.

Also, Jurassic Park. Engineer a bunch of lysine deficient anacondas, and deny them artificial supplements when their job is done. Nothing could go wrong with that plan, right?</description>

		<description>&quot;While living in England, Austin had been an avid hunter, regularly dedicating his weekends to rabbit shooting. Upon arriving in Australia, which had no native rabbit population, Austin asked his nephew William Austin in England to send him 12 grey rabbits, five hares, 72 partridges and some sparrows so he could continue his hobby in Australia by creating a local population of the species.&quot;

		<description>Wikipedia sez that the the red bellied black snake and cane toad are predating on the brown tree snake.

Obviously it&#039;s time to drop the commando units onto the unsuspecting brown tree snakes on parachutes. 

Of course both the black snake and cane toad are generalist predators, so they would also eat everything else, and the brown tree snake is also a generalist, who would feed on the red bellied black snake and cane toad.

However this problem can be solved by introducing a species predating on the cane toad such as eel, catfish, caiman, ibis, black rat etc.

In turn these are all generalists, so you would have to invent a control for them, so obviously you&#039;d have to start airdropping cats to eat the rats and other predators. Unfortunately there aren&#039;t any natural predating species on caiman.

However this problem could be solved by airdropping humans to shoot those top predators.

The problem is that humans themselves being generalists have no natural enemy, and would just destroy the habitat.

So to solve that problem it would be best to nuke them from orbit, just to be sure.</description>
