    Sick to my stomach

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this but this morning I came across this piece of news that made me very upset. I wish there was something that can be done because I have a feeling this will go unpunished. Hopefully the police will check for local sales and find the culprit.

    "Vodou practitioners will write a person’s name on a piece of paper, gather other items related to that person and insert them into the snake and sew its mouth shut. Mullin said nothing was found in the snake, but it’s possible they could have disintegrated."

    i really hope this is just lore. i can't imagine what that poor baby went through. i hope they find the culprit(s).

    That is just awful. I can't even begin to understand the kind of person that would intentionally harm an animal.

    I found the story and photos very upsetting..

    Fortunately the snake is in good hands now rather dying from the infection or dehydration/starvation.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    No doubt. I don't quite know what to say about that. Just doesn't make sense.

    I really hope this little guy recovers and transitions into a comfortable life. I can't imagine the stress and pain this baby endured.

    The person guilty of this crime should have their mouth sewn shut as punishment.
