Dumb Video, *warning* most defintely will upset you

[Lucifers_Mommy]

I wanted to post this to show some people who dont understand why sometimes very strict laws are put in place about snakes,

I will tell you before you decide to watch that the video is of 2 guys eggin on a boa to get her to bit them

This video is exactly why laws are put in place and people are hurt and killed, sometimes people are bitten or killed by accident, the guys in this video did it purely for a thrill, I dont condone this video and I posted it here because not many "snake haters" visit this site, I dont want to create more of a bad name for the hobby ....its just ive had a few friends and accuitances ask me after seeing my critters why there are so many laws etc etc

I know I might get in trouble for posting it, but none the less,

Utterly brilliant.

Glad they dont care that the snake might get teeth yanked out in the process and all the fun stuff that can lead to.

I am not sure why you would want to share something with such potential to incite people and get them worked up.

That is amazing. I think the most upseting part about it is that people treat these animals like they are toys.


That is how you train an animal to be agressive towards people.

[frankykeno]

Actually I'd have to disagree. I don't think you can train any animal to be "aggressive towards people". That's not training....that's abusing an animal until it reacts, that's teaching it fear and loathing of the human smell and associating that with a need to defend itself but it's sure not training, at least in my books.

As far as a video like that, some folks like to look at car wrecks and some folks don't.

Looked more like a "I'm scared, please go away" bite to me...poor thing. =P

People are dumb.

I took the time to review the video... I am saddened by thier lack of respect for such a marvelous creature that they have no right to abuse. This animal is NOT being trained to react this way, it is merely defending itself from the nasty mean humans who have no right to have any animal in thier possession.

I am very disappointed that this video was even posted because it is very distasteful and hardly appropriate. Yes, snake haters "that we know of" do not hang at this site, but there are also lurkers who may be and this video only helps to spread thier reasons for making laws that are very restrictive to ppl who care for thier animals right.

I would love to wipe their smug smiles of their faces... idiots

[engywook]

I don't see how this video would particularly help the case of anyone trying to restrict people's rights to keep reptiles -- it's quite obvious that the poor snake was intentionally provoked by two idiots who _wanted_ to get bitten.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that there's anything to be gained by sharing it, particularly here, where it will just upset people.

He needs to clean his room.

I think that was his kitchen. Yuck. Darn Crackheads. Poor Boa.
