Does that surprise you that their information is wrong?

Great. Just great. I hope its not some kind of evil plan by PETA or people snake haters by deliberately releasing a snake that they know it will eventually bite somebody. Once that happen, they know they already have people writing the laws.

Sound outrageous but hey, anything is possible.

I highly doubt they would release a venomous snake. I doubt they would do it for any type of snake.

I doubt it too but I just like to let my imagination run wild.

LOL, don't let it run too wild, you may give them ideas.

while this isnt a great thing nor do they have any facts straight, but i have a problem with this...

"Richard Konefal, who owns the apartment building where the worker was attacked, said he led one animal control officer on a search of all nine units in the building, turning up no evidence that anyone there had been raising the snake"


i sure hope he got permission and didnt just take ppl through all those apartments without it

glad the guy is ok, now to the part that really bothers me... did you read some of the comments from people about how this is why ALL exotics should be banned. people are out of control... i don't see them preaching about cats being banned due to the stray cat population in south florida lol

It will always be this way. People are not afraid of cats like they are of reptiles. If it was up to me I would be spending goverment money all over america taking care of the feral cat problem that the ENTIRE usa has. Not just one state. But politicians use snakes for scare tactics.

People as a species are retarded. Only some of us are brilliant. :)
