snakes destroyed??

Saw this article tonight:

http://cbs3.com/local/Viper.Snake.De....2.759023.html

what a shame to destroy the snakes which have not done anything wrong. :mad:

same story - different article with more detail

That guy shouldn't have bought the snakes in the first place, and who would have adopted them?

it sucks...
but i mean, he should have had a permit, and the state wouldnt have waited to find a home for them...
so they killed them...

:(

but its partly the owners fault.

i thought this was interesting from the article:

"Venomous snakes are also illegal as pets in Pennsylvania and New Jersey."

I thought they were legal in Penn, take a look at hamburg...

They had to euthanize them. They are dangerous, and I seriously doubt that anyone from that SPCA can handle exotic hots. I would rather see them euthanized than adopted out.
