Leprosy Breaks out in South Florida

[batoncolle]

I think we all know why this is suddenly popping up...

But the good thing about leprosy is that 95% of people will be immune. The bad thing about leprosy is if you're in the 5% group.

"Central Florida, in particular, accounted for 81% of cases reported in Florida and almost one fifth of nationally reported cases."

Imagine Disney being ground zero for leprosy.....

They are not a native species. They should put a bounty on them and wipe them out if at all possible.

Same things the Indians said, and tried, with the first white settlers.
All about one’s perspective.

Not really. Humans are all the same species.

That is correct. The thing is, armadillos were introduced to Florida by humans. They naturally migrated up through Mexico into the SW US so that is a natural migration. Not so in Florida. Humans introduced them and like most things humans introduced to Florida, they need to be gotten rid of.

Well, we have become a Third World Nation with open borders and a senile old Dictator, what did you expect was going to happen??

What, you don't like the cultural infusion from other parts of the world? Diversity makes us stronger! LOL.

I don't think anything living in Florida, outside of alligators, are native.
