I have free handled on numerous occasions and will say the animals are in no way under greater stress. They are more relaxed when done properly.
Also, accidental releases fall under irresponsible keeping IMO.

Guess we have to agree to disagree. Simple.

Free handling hots can be "extremely safe"? That there I cannot ever agree with. It is never extremely safe. Responsibly handling a loaded gun can be extremely safe. But that gun isn't alive. You can never predict any live being 100 percent.

Any snake can bite you at any time. Ive had my most trusted animals randomly bite me before. There is no safety in free handling and I'd hope you'd be aware of that.
As for the guy mentioned in the original post, I think he doesn't have enough respect for the animals he owns. It also makes me wonder if he really understands the danger he's in. No one in their right mind would do that when really understanding the danger, because there are ONLY consequences. Either he gets killed, gets nerve damage, or pays a nasty hospital bill. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
