how ever i dont feel the snake should have been left out to lay in the grass where that could happen.

the fact the child attacked the snake even after being warned and regardless was determined to kill the snake leads me to wonder what else he has killed. or if he wets the bed or if he plays with fire.
kids that kill animals when the CLEARLY know it is wrong always send red flags in my mind.

They were there all day 8 hours with no problems , And they had done this before , the snake stayed in the same spot. The owner I am sure never thought the kids was going to do anything. If it were me I am not sure that I would have done anything different except to yell to people to catch that kid till the police came. I do not blame the owner of the snake at . As humans we want to trust other humans.

just because you've done it before does not make it right. i just dont feel leaving a snake out in an open area with a crowd is the best idea. why couldn't he have had him out and then put him back into an enclosure? I'm sure it was to some degree stressing for the snake to lay out in the bare open. Maybe i misread something.

I'm not blaming the owner, but this technically, could have been prevented. If some kid came at my snake trying to kill it and i had to chase him off the first time, that would have been it for the snake laying out on the grass. i would have put it up.

This stuff really, really, really makes me mad. :mad: What makes that kid think he has the right to just end a life like that!? And his parents must be absolute rubbish at doing what they're supposed to do if their kid even had an inkling that that sort of thing is remotely acceptable. Is this not an arrestable offence? Or is there not some sort of legal punishment that can be given out?

And if you had you would have been arrested and sent to jail.

Just remember in the Bible it says (Genesis):

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and you shall bruise his heel.

So many people interpret this to mean that it is acceptable to destroy snakes. And I am sure that PETA would not defend the rights of the snake owner after all it is not a Dog or a Cat.

and I can bet that if you attacked a child you would be put on a Child Offenders registry for the rest of your life. Is it worth it? The child is rotten to the core, and probably will be rotting in prision before his 18th birthday.

The owner did all that he could under our perverse laws. Remember even a parent cannot raise his hand to strike the bottom of an unrully child. And that strike would violate not one but several laws...

Those laws are indeed perverse if they do not allow for some serious punishment to a sick, twisted individual (who knows the difference between right and wrong, even if he or others claim otherwise) who has taken a life.

This is the worst display of human ignorance (childs father) that I have recently heard of. :rainon:

what about protecting your investment?
and dont think peta wouldn't snap up this as a chance to throw it back into our faces as to why we should not be allowed reptiles/pets.
peta's end of game goal is to prevent people from ever interacting with animals, ever.

you best believe if i felt one of my animals was in imminent danger, it is my duty as their keeper to protect their lives. i would not hesitate to snatch up a kid. i would not do so, like tackle them like a line backer, but there may be some one being snatching up or pushing off.

i just cannot understand how that guy didnt track them down and do something about it. i mean, that snake had to eat, it cost money to aquire did it not? and i dont know how much albino burms are these days- but im quite sure he didn't buy the snake with lollipops and rainbows. even if the snake was donated- feeding and upkeep are not free. not to mention this animal was used as an educational tool.

If this was a corporate entity or the property of a zoo, it will have had insurance on it to cover replacement. If it was a pet or a personal item, the person should have had insurance on it before he took it out to be handled by others.

I am sorry for his loss, but now he will know the risks of allowing uneducated humans from getting too near one of his snakes. It is the owner's fault that the snake was killed, not the childs. This is what almost any court would say.

AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT THE FATHER OF THAT CHILD LEFT THE FAIR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE...

But as I said before, a person like that will not survive long without someone to clean up after him. Unless he joins the Mafia or a large gang, he is going to be in a world of hurt when he trys something like this to someone who has no regard for the rule-of-law.
