People like this should be locked up

[PurplePython]

I would kill the damn thing too..so lock me up. I cant believe some people who put a friggin VENEMOUS snake ahead of human lives!!!!!!!!!!!

no one is doing this....

if you would maybe read the story, the guy pinned the snake down and cut its head off. If he pinned it down he could have easily just removed it or something. He didnt have to kill it.

No one is putting a snakes life ahead of a humans.

He wasnt in that situation, HE PUT HIMSELF IN IT. Snakes are not out to harm anyone but live their lives. He came upon it, took it upon himself and killed it with out moving it him self. To me thats uncalled for. In your eyes any venomous snake you see wild is a threat and must be destroyed. Get real dude.

Ive kept a cobra years ago, it struck at me which is dangerous situation, did i chop its head off, NO cause its doing what its programed to do protect its self.

With attitude like that no wonder your emotions are in the way of the real picture.

Its not harsh, read your state laws. Go kill a snake thats native to your state in front of a wildlife official and see where you end up.

Its illegal to kill native species with out special hunting permits

this sort of mentality (along with the irrational phobia of snakes by the majority of the population), is why we're seeing a decreased number of venomous snakes in the wild in the us. It saddens me that people think nothing of killing these beautiful animals when it requires less effort to call someone who could relocate them. If he's worried about it getting away before someone gets there, it's really not hard to put a bucket or something over the snake, then put a rock or something on top to make sure it stays put.

exactly! Just put a bucket over it! This is just crazy, this story made me so mad

Here is what my state law says about venemous snakes: Taken from the Wildlife Code

Snakes in Missouri are protected by state law. The Wildlife Code of Missouri treats snakes, lizards and most turtles as nongame. This means there is no open season on these animals, and it is technically illegal to kill them. Of course, realistic exceptions exist, such as when a poisonous snake comes in close contact with humans, which could result in someone getting bitten.

One comes near me or my family, or my neighbors as they have kids also, it is dead. If the snake has to go then it has to go, better than a person being bit!!!!

99.9999999999% of close encounters is OUR FAULT not thiers.

OK I guess you are right...humans are dumb and need to die a slow painful death due to a venemous snakebite!!!!!!!!

Seriously dude grow up. We are the invading species taking over land that dont belong to us. We are disgustingly over populating this earth it sickens me. Snakes were here before we ever were, where else do you want them to go when your house was their home first.
