A Real Snakeman

[Amon Ra Reptiles]

Yes I did. Which is why I addressed both the video (which really isn't all that bad) AND the treatment of the OP.

I dont see anything special about this video. Anyone can throw a bunch of a cobras. Monocles are very predictable. And im sure those are not in the best of health. This video is sickening. I would have to smack someone if I saw them throwing my snakes around like that.

Different cultures, different ways. He certainly doesn't seem to be abusing them. Ever see a rat breeder toss a rat into a bin? What's the difference? Ever toss a rat or mouse yourself? And you're better than this guy why?

Almost everything is eaten by someone in Asia. It's also not America.

Ever hear of Sweetwater Tex.? Rattlesnake roundups? Now THAT'S cruelty, waste, greed and human stupidy glorified. If you really feel strongly about snakes being abused, do something about roundups here. Dumping on the foreign guy for showing, and probably not being totally fluent in English, what goes on in other places merely exemplifies the ignorance we Americans are so often accused of wearing like armor.

Let's be serious for a moment. How many of you would even get IN that pit with all those cobras? It's his job, apparently, and he seems to not only have been doing it well, but for quite some time. With cobras, even mellow ones, that has to say something positive about the guy.

That is indeed sad I am not going to watch the whole video. However I also agree check out some of the videos on slaughterhouses. It is terrible the way all animals that are treated the people eat.

Why don't you just give a warning in the thread title? That way we already know. Theres no need to make a whole new sections to show abused and dead snakes.

Yes I have seen rattlesnake round up pictures. Imo the human beings that participate in that event are a waste of space.

wow, i would not even be able to go there and clean up their poo. near the end when he picked up a cobra that was hooded and staring right at him. he didn't even flinch when it gave a warning strike.

the cobras are so beautiful and i admire them. to bad they are food in Thailand.
