For anyone thinking about getting ANY pet, please don't do so unless you want to ensure that you can give the animal the best treatment possible! I was really pissed this morning.
I turned on the local radio and was surprised to hear that a yellow anaconda was found.
There is this big sea/lake that a lot of families go on trips to. It's also a place for fishermen.
Anyway, apparently a fisher saw a 2,5m (8,2 feet) snake in the water but it fled when he tried to approach it. He called the fire department as well as the regulatory agency. A specialist for reptiles identified the animal as a yellow anaconda. The sea is now evacuated until the animal is found and rescued. It seems so be at the bottom of the sea where it's warmer because it's only 62 degrees outside.
It is assumed that animal was a pet before being abandoned at the lake. I really hope that the stupid owner gets caught. I don't understand why someone would do this!
If you can't take care of the pet, then don't get one in the first place. Sure things can change but that is no reason to abandon the animal. It can hurt others and itself. Find another owner or something but don't do this.
I really hope the snake is ok.
