Re: Need some perspective (gore)
I hate what low-rent animal hoarders are capable of.
Now I have to go see the trail of destruction that Kat left on the other forum...

It's like I suddenly have tourettes when I visit that thread. That silly, stupid woman makes me want to be physically violent. It's a good thing there are 3,000 miles between us or I'd be camped on her doorstep.

I feel similarly.
I;ve done everything i can to find the address but it's just not happening. I've pinned it to a guy named Pat who works occasionally at Unleaded Racing Tech in MI. He lives in Taylor. Hopefully with some help we can pin him down using the IP address that they probably both posted from on the other forum.
This sucks so much.

They said they're taking it to the vet. I said "prove it".
We'll see.

Why would it matter? If the vet tells them the snake needs to be put down, then she'll walk out.

The man knows his stuff! I don't mind the hour and half drive to see him, he won me over the second we met him.

The following photo is of a snake that is currently in the condition depicted in the photograph:

The person who has this snake now claims to have "rescued it from the freezer" - as in a guy at a petshop left a rat in with this snake and was going to freeze it when he discovered her in this condition. The "rescuer" took the snake home and has rinsed her wounds with betadine, but not taken the snake to the vet for pain meds, ABs, or any other kind of evaluation or treatment. The list of excuses for this is a mile long. She is online asking strangers for treatment advice but completely ignores calls for the animal to be taken to the hospital. :rage:
Is it just me or is this... abhorrent beyond belief? Am i just being emotive? Should this snake just... be allowed to try to heal itself with no treatment or pain meds? I just can't get over that someone would allow an animal to suffer like this. I said in a fit of anger that i'd like to call animal control on this person, and they offered their address so i could do it. I am afraid AC would laugh at me if i did it, and it would be horribly awkward all the while "hi, i was online and someone was being mean to a snake". like... wtf.
Please tell me i'm not crazy :confused::rolleye2:
What, if anything, can i do?? I am so upset...
Exactly why I NOW feed frozen when you get to jumbo size the rats become a threat! That is so sad.:tears: Hopfully it can make a full recovery.

Please forgive me if I come off of as rude, but I feed live and I've never encountered something anywhere near that in my wildest dreams. That picture depicts what NOT to do when feeding life. That picture depicts neglect upon the owner's part. That doesn't depict what normally happens. If done properly, snakes stand a very minimal chance of even getting bit while feeding live. What this owner did was neglectful, and what the girl who's currently in possession of this poor animal is doing is also neglectful.

That is the what burns me most about this. Foolio says her pictures were taken to document the effects of live feeding.
She is holding this snake hostage and denying it medical care as a means of promoting her own agenda and to maintain power and control.
That is not typical of live feeding. You do not feed jumbo rats to BPs.
I am with Kat on this. Except my thoughts are more along the line of what if someone flayed this person to the bone, carved out a few vertebrae and then left her to wallow in her own urine and feces... would she beg for medical help. What if she did not have a voice. I mean she can drag herself around and move a bit, so I guess she is OK?
