Awww, now I feel special. :D :carrot:




























Wait a minute! :O

I think I am going to ask my son if he wants his own snake now....

Really though, that is the most ridiculous thing. Its like the parents that teach their children that Dogs and Cats are disposable animals by buying them from petstores then selling them when they don't "have time" to potty train, or all of the sudden "have an allergy" after keeping them animal for years.

what a odd person.. :rolleyes:

I went back and read the rest of the article (after laying on the leather sofa, talking to my shrink for an hour and hugging the stuffed snake that is provided in the office :D) and this *really* disturbs me:

If your child understand what you are telling them, then this discussion is settled. We will all agree we do not want a snake as a pet. We maybe can get a dog or a cat but we have to may sure you are responsible enough to take care of an animal. Sometimes children may be old enough but lack the maturity to handle animals.

If your friend or friends wants you to take a snake from them. Just thank them, but no thanks because my mom or dad will leave the house and who will take care of the snake and me.

What the????? :O
This woman thinks that *children* should be the responsible party for a pet? And what's with that last bit about leaving the house? Doe SHE do that? Do she and her husband leave their house and leave a child home who can not or is not old enough to be able to care for themselves?

Now I'm afraid... very afraid.

Wow. Just, wow, guys... Do people like this really exist? :eek: *goes to build safety shelter deep underground*

This was my fave part, I mean, c'mon...

"We could not care for a snake like we should. Snakes need to be in their own habitat, would you want to be in unfamiliar territory? Would you want to kill for your food just to survive? Well, the same thing goes for a snake."

Um, lady, a snake's home is wherever it's at. They dont have addresses. Also, a snake ALWAYS kills its food to survive. That's what they do. Yeah, even in the wild...

Gosh, some people... I showed this to my little sister who has kinda been interested in snakes because of me but still isnt TOO sure. Even she was like, "wtf?!"
