Aggressive pet python escapes, killing 2 cats before being captured

This is the worst example of news reporting I have seen in a long time. The snake doesn't act aggressive at all; he's pretty chill.
That's not even a Burmese python either. Someone needs to tell the mentally incapable news reporters that it is actually an albino tiger reticulated python. And for a retic, he seems like a gentle specimen.

Edit: Also found here: http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2013/oct/...0-foot-python/
Again, misidentified as a Burmese python. Pathetic.

They found the "snak" coiled in some bushes, guys.

Big fat sigh.

Such an uproar when a snake is found in a neighborhood. But a blind eye turned to violent stray dogs that attack and terrorize neighborhoods.

I find plenty of these in my school's courtyard right after lunch. Why, I bet if the reporters camped at my school for a few days, they'll find lots of snacks littered on the ground to make a news story for! :)

Send these reporters to the Philippines and see how many retics they can find ambushing the neighborhood chickens! Oh yeah, they'd probably pass out from the mind-blow of 1.) having neighborhood chickens, 2.) having neighborhood retics, 3.) finding out the retics hide from you but the roosters will beat the crap out of you.

Lol.

On a side note, you also forgot to mention their flying capabilities...
