Some kid decided it would be cool to watch a snake writhing in pain due to being lit on fire. I didn't see it personally, but it was spreading thru my class via video. It was sick, I don't know how someone could live with themselves after doing that. Honestly. And I 100% agree with the statement you made. What does that old geezer hope to accomplish? Destroying a key part of the ecosystem around him? Haven't we done enough when it comes to destroying ecosystems?

"He's so cute. My fluffy little dog.. He's so cute- There's the problem. We only want to save the cute animals, don't we? Yeah. Why don't we just have animal auditions. Line 'em up one by one and interview them individually. "What are you?" "I'm an otter." "And what do you do?" "I swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands." "You're free to go." "And what are you?" "I'm a cow." "Get in the :cens0r: truck, ok pal!" "But I'm an animal." "You're a baseball glove! Get on that truck!" "I'm an animal, I have rights!" "Yeah, here's yer :cens0r: cousin, get on the :cens0r: truck, pal!" We kill the cows to make jackets out of them..."

Except in this example its not based on food but what animals have a right to live where we do and co-exist. If it isnt cute and furry, or at least considered by the majority as ok, KILL IT!

We must breed fluffy snakes :D


But seriously, people shouldn't torture animals because they don't like or understand them. The lighting on fire thing was really messed up. :mad:

See, people like that grow up to be serial killers, rapists, and mass murderers.

And we just let them get away with it.

Sometimes I HATE people.

I consider dumb, ignorant, inconsiderate wastes of life to be pests. I wonder if I call my local police department if the chief will allow me to use humane rounds to rid my town of them?

Humans: the worst kind of vermin.

Wait... what the hell is this microwave corn thing at the end? LOL!

I don't think this guy is going to be getting away with it. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has been notified. From what I understand, their enforcement division is pretty upset and is moving in.

I hope that the police officers who gave this idiot permission are also reprimanded for not knowing that it is against Virginia state law to kill a snake for no reason.

I am glad to hear that they are taking this seriously. Nothing is worse than standing by and allowing people to act this way. By stepping in, it does set a much better example for people who might think it is okay. I know a good portion of people don't 100% agree with certain laws, but killing an animal for no reason, that poses no immediate threat, should be a very serious matter.

I don't shoot my neighbors dog for barking like a moron at 3am. Just because a snake is alive isn't reason to kill it :rolleyes:

Looks like the reptile community made some noise!

It's good that they confronted him. Only sad part is, he won't get what he deserves. That still irritates me a bit.
