people suck

hey i was browsing the net and found this story:

"About an hour's drive from me is a garden centre with a pet shop. Over the years it's become known as a centre of excellence for reptile keeping, and they offfer to provide homes for reptiles. I'd wanted to go for a long time, and as soon as we got a car it was one of the first places we visited. They've got all sorts of snakes, loads of iguanas, and even an alligator.

In one of the vivaria they had three very attractive albino burmese pythons. I was watching these snakes when I realised that the keepers were about to do something with them. A big fat woman opened a large door at the back of the snakes enclosure, reached in with a broom handle, savagely cracked one of the snakes three times on the back with the broom handle and then closed the door.


I couldn't beleive my eyes, and asked what she did that for. She told me that it's a good idea to hit large pythons regularly. It teaches them to respect the keepers.

The sad thing is that when I reported this to the R.S.P.C.A. they told me that I was lying, and that the garden centre in question knows what they are doing. The R.S.P.C.A. told me that they take unwanted reptiles there, and how dare I say such nasty things about them."

when it mistakes her arm for the broom, it will be the snakes fault, also.......not hers for the abuse!! some people!!

Ooooh, I'd have beaten her with a stick. Grrrrrrrr.

Grrr! I'd like to hit her with a broom handle regularly! :evil:

God, what's wrong with some people? I'll bet if you showed up regularly and beat her with a baseball bat it would teach her to respect you.
Can snakes be expected to "respect"? I'm sure she means "fear", but I'm thinking they will only associate people with violence and pain, hightening the chances of strikes and aggressive behavior.
This post is accurately named!

i doubt she actually believes this is a good method for keeping a snake "tame". snakes don't respect their owners, and beating one with a stick isn't going to change that. i'd tell you what she can do with that broomstick, but i'm sure it'd get editted.






lol, i had to edit this... i just realized i said "beating one with a snake"... lol...
