Re: People like this should be locked up
Alot of people are bit trying to kill snakes, jus sayin. And would calling animal control be that big of a deal? its their job to find it. Im not against killing it out of safety but there are other ways in this case. he could have called animal control and went and alerted the neighbors and let them know animal control was on the way.

Are snakes really that dangerous??
..Rabies isn't airborne. It's transmitted via saliva (there needs to be an injury for the saliva to get into, however).

And if there's no animal control/local person to remove the snake?

Re: People like this should be locked up
you know what mayb ill kill the next stray dog bc it may have rabies and may be harmful to my family. Im sure that would go over well...snakes have the same rights that stray dog does. They dont need to be killed unless there is a reason. And not just a hot or large snake found near a house. I.E rabies or a sick snake or a snake that is suffering

Theres a difference between a wild snake and a stray dog. Wild dog you say? What do you think they do with wild dogs / animals that have rabies? Cure them and send them back to the wild? :rolleyes:

no thats why if you read what i wrote you would see only the dogs\reptiles that are sick should be put down. Next time read before you comment. Just like they remove and re home dogs they should be doing the same for the snakes. A snake is an animal just like a dog is. And you wont change my mind on that.
Re: People like this should be locked up
lol....
How is comparing an insect to a snake just like comparing a snake to a dog?
Please explain that....
Most insects don't even live to be 2 months old....
Dogs live around 10-15 years and Snakes can live well above 30 years.
I would say chopping a snakes head off for no reason is a pretty serious thing.

Wouldnt ever try to change anyones mind about anything, Im not a preacher here....
So a dog that 'has a stomach bug' instead of rabies should be put down? A sick dog is not necessarily a threat. An animal with rabies can be. So can a hot herp.
If this guy had decapitated a corn snake or a milk snake or something, I can understand the problem here. He found this animal to be a threat, so he did what he thought was right. This kind of thing happens all the time, the fact that it was published as news is really what suprises me.
*Edit - just re read first post
I dont think the 'stalking' part happens all the time...that sounds kind of weird to me lollol.
