Complete and Total Ignorance

It looks like Karma did show up...

But he was forced to take a break from snake hunting when a bad reaction to arthritis medication put him in the hospital over Memorial Day weekend. When he returned home Wednesday afternoon, the day the column appeared in the News-Post, he immediately heard from Cundiff that his activities are off-limits.

"I am not going to be killing any more snakes unless they run across my path, and then I'll smash their heads in."

Nice.

^^^ I don't like human babies, but you don't see me punching every mother that comes and shows me her kid and how 'cute' it is. So why do people feel the need to express their displeasure with something by killing it. Ignorant.

If only people treated all animals like the Igbo people do.

Beliefs and folklore

This species is particularly revered in the traditional religion of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. It is considered symbolic of the earth, being an animal that travels so close to the ground. Even among many Christian Igbos, these pythons are treated with great care whenever they happen to wander into a village or onto someone's property; they are allowed to roam freely or are very gently picked up and placed out in a forest or field away from any homes. If one is accidentally killed, many communities in Igboland will still build a coffin for the snake's remains and give it a short funeral.[13
