Why I don't like people....

Absolutely sick. And only $500 being offered for information? Better than nothing, but paltry at best.

Oh well hope they nail (no pun intended) whoever did this to the wall.

Batters420, it's not just over one snake, it's not just over the general snake species, it's happening all over the world, every day to all types of animals. I've always said I hate the Human race, because of what they do to animals, who were here long before us. They have been shunned out of there natural habitat, and when there is no space left in the wild they attemp to come back into there native lands and are shot. Sometimes they get tranquilized and put back, but if they re-enter they get killed. It's like 'They've had their warning and they didn't listen so their gonna die' it's down right terrible. And especially the difference bettween carnivorous species and herbivorous species. Where I live we have bears because I live beside a forest, But this forest is right smack in the middle of civilization, it's like the movie Over The Hedge. But, people FREAK when they see a bear, or even a raccoon, but when a deer shows up it's all like 'OH! IT'S SO CUTE AND FRAGILE!" I'm not specifically ranting at you, but when you said that you hate the person who posted this thread it just made me angry. Well, I didn't mean to go off topic, if anyone felt I did but I hope they nail this guy. (No Pun intended) Especially if s/he was doing it to warn someone, that is the ultimate low, killing something slowly and painfully just to scare someone, and the money that must have been put into too, SHEESH!:mad:

BSD 13: I didn't notice you wrote no pun intended as well so i just thought i'd throw it out there that i didn't copy you.

crazy,i know its not over one snake.i just dont understand why the person posted this thread.all it does is make the people in this forum mad.i got mad enough to rant myself.if i wanted to i could look up a bunch of this kind of stuff and post it but i see no reason.i know its a reptile forum and whoever can post wat they want.and btw,to the people that either dont like or hate the human race,why dont you go live in the woods alone,build your own house hunt your own food and find your own fresh water,stop using the human race for your needs if you hate them so much.

Look B420, we all know what the OP intended and I'm sure you do to. You seem to enjoy stirring things up which is not really very well received around here.
He posted a current event and this is a fine thing to do and is on topic for a reptile community. Of course he generalized about hating people- of course he means the people who did this wicked act and all people who are wicked to animals who do not have a voice.
I feel the same way he does and also get friggin fed up with the sheeple masses who stumble through their days with no intention and no attention to what they are doing; what they are hurting.
And I have done what you challenged the OP to do: I have 64 acres in the middle of nowhere. We have our own water source. We hunt for food. We are off the grid. We prefer to not 'use' anybody but rather prefer to work together~ it takes a village, as they say.
And this is where the OP was going with this: it takes a village and if people don't start speaking out against this cruelty to animals, including human animals, then why are we all sharing this life together? We have a choice to turn away, to pretend to not notice the cruelty around, to do nothing. Or we have a choice to get angry about the current state of affairs and try to create the village it takes to enact change.
B420, you seem really young, even though you say you're in your late 20's. I would challenge you to open your eyes and your mind and your heart and not be afraid to learn from others.

Why are you guys arguing over this, its to much time wasted to yammer and yammer about these personal arguments that are brought up on this thread, you aren't getting anywhere by simply contradicting each other. look a snake got nailed to a pole. Its sad, so talk about the topic at hand. butters guy, or whatever your name is, cool off and don't get your panties in a knot. if you guys are going to be little beoches, take it somewhere else.

great thread here, really guys, well done. I haven't seen childish bickering like this in years.


Butters, are you serious? Why such the struck nerve? I don't understand why this thread offends you so much, you may need to take a step back.

sorry to everyone that had to read this and especialy to the op.rough couple days and i just picked somtin out to get mad at.so again i am sorry

:gj::gj::gj:

well i'm glad all that was cleared up!

very AWFUL person to do that to a snake. awful indeed. i can't believe some people are so heartless and i'm glad the thing was rescued. resiliant little guys aren't they!!!

I would like to hear more about the people that saved the snake. It must have taken some great care to have the animal even survive being removed from the post. I would definately like to know how it was done.

Even though humans are capable of such inhumane acts, I am not one to 'hate' any species including my own. ALL creatures have their good and bad aspects....ALL CREATURES. Hate is what causes most of these sad situations. People hate people. People hate snakes. People hate bears. People hate themselves.

Nothing good ever comes out of hate in any form or direction. :peace:

Poor snake, is all I can really think of right now. I think that this is something that we all can agree with.

:handshake

Depends on what part of the country you're in, really. Around here, there's a culture of killing snakes on sight. Then we have these annual rattlesnake hunts that, IMO, are really horrible and backward. A kid at the school where I teach was very proud of her picture of herself holding a six-foot rattler. They sew the mouth shut for these pictures. I think that's pretty sick.

I think you and I have similar feelings about animal cruelty, in any case.

that has got to be one of the worse things i have ever seen that poor little snake. I can't believe it survived. I dont think that its being calm in the video but in shock. I just cant believe that. Normally i am a calm person but you cant imagine the things i would do to the person(s) responsible for this. I am talking like busting stuff from the saw movie on them (but worse) :(:mad: I would probably be locked up for life after i was done but it would be worth it.

Wow! I lived in the south (not the deep south) and I never experienced anything like a mouth being sewn shut for a photo op...yuck. I have shot rattle snakes that have hung out in the homestead area~ didn't know how to move them and couldn't have my little kids being tagged.
But a hunt? Ummm, nooooo.....

I think you have to look at the area where this happened also. There are some parts of Lawrence that I wouldn't send my worst enemy into. I can almost guarantee that this was some sort of gang-related type "warning". Maybe the snake belonged to the person who was getting "warned", the article says that he was well taken care of before being frickin nailed to a telephone pole. It's so messed up that this animal got stuck in the middle of something that happened between two people.
I agree 100% that this is a sick and twisted thing to have happen to any animal and I would love to be able to personally drive the first nail into whoever it was that did this. Does anyone have any updates on whether or not they are going to be putting Trent up for adoption? Or how he's doing?

They said in one of the articles that he was on pain-killers so that might be why he seems so calm, he's all doped up seeing pretty colors and such :oops:
