    A woman "held captive" by a Burmese
    I found this video on Comcast... Makes me SOOOOOOOOOOOO mad!

    http://www.comcast.net/video/python-...st/1352310872/

    There was a pretty skinny burmese outside of her car. And she "couldn't get out". Um... How about one of the other doors? 11 ft doesn't wrap around a car!

    Of course, this is fox news and they absolutly suck at news... But this is just stupid. Seriously, I'm shocked at their stupidity.

    "LIVE COVERAGE" ...Seriously? They had live coverage for THAT?

    Ugh...

    A twelve year old could control that snake with a proper hook and a snake bag, yet, for the camera, which happens to be in Florida by the way, three full grown men look as if they are having a hard time.

    What a bunch of dramatics.

    the thing we must all remember is that many people have a legitimate fear of snakes..I mean a deep seated, true to heart fear ans while we may understand basic reptile behavior the general public doesn't.

    So we as a community may see the general public reaction to first hand exposure to these animals as absurd or ridiculous, we must also understanding of those facts and express empathy for them.

    Our ability to express our true concern of the public's fear.

    It's like I always tell people when they tell me their afraid of snakes, I tell people "I understand, their not for everyone and I'm not going ask you to do or be in a situation that make them uncomfortable". Normally peoples curiosity and me not pushing the animals on them wins out over fear..

    We don't need to poo poo peoples fear. I think that is one of the reasons we get such a bad rap. People get the "its so stupid to be afraid of snakes".

    This lady didn't walk in to a snake shop and complain she was getting out of her car..I tell you if I went to get out of my car and there's a Bengal tiger standing there, I'd crap myself.

    Just remember while we enjoy these animals we have to accept others who don't and take them into consideration first and foremost cause after all it isn't snake lovers pushing for their removal from the pet trade..now is it.

    Hmmm....trapped in a car because a snake is outside the car. Maybe the genious should have remembered that she was sitting in....A CAR? Last I heard, those newfangled cars move from place to place.

    Funny how the craziest story I've ever heard of, a snake keeping someone "hostage" is popping up in a time like this.
