Cliff Notes:
Stupid person tries to give medication to a 'supposed' 10' tiger retic by herself, and she was found dead by her husband with a crush neck. Who wants to bet the moron put the snake around her neck to give the meds?

[AaronP]

What a moron...there is a reason why people say you NEED someone else around when you do any major handling of these size animals.

Everyone makes mistakes. This one cost this lady her life. You really should show respect for the dead.

I respect the dead, but I have the ability not to respect individuals, dead or not, this could have been EASILY prevented.

Regardless this is a very sad situation. I feel very bad for both the FAMILY and FRIENDS.

man that really sucks = [
i watch to much TV so of course all kinds of scenarios run through my mind and anything is possible. I have heard from "people" that 90% percent of the people who die from attacks from large constrictors are killed because they don't want to hurt the snake. al i have to say is if i'm wrapped.....it's on like donkey kong

This begs the question: how do you know that 90% of the people who are KILLED by their snakes are DEAD because they didn't want to hurt the snake?

Everyone makes mistakes. This one cost this lady her life. You really should show respect for the dead.

This is another one that's just begging.

Why?

Why do I need to show respect for someone for whom in real life I most likely did not have any respect for? I can see being kind or courteous or not mean, but why respect?

Because they managed to not be alive anymore? We will accomplish at least that much; it's veritably guaranteed.

I so often see, especially with public figures, people praising the dead ONLY because they are no longer living.

Hypocrisy at it's best.

Homey don't play dat.

One thing that is known is that many deaths by snake are alcohol and drug related.

I haven't seen anything in regards to it, but was this girl sober when she died?

Or so the story goes. It seems legit. However, I can imagine an overreactive panic button being pressed.

Yep heard this one! I am in Norfolk and I hear of this all the time. People getting into something that they are not sure about. It is a tragady for both noe I am sure there are going to be people gunning fo getting rid of these beautiful snakes. It is a shame do to prob. someone's "senseless"(and I do use that term loosley) act that now people are going to be upset and really going to want these "bigger" snakes banned from now our area. Juat my opinion but I hate snakes to get a bad rap due to someone elses mistakes.

[Patrick Long]

Said......yes


Her fault......yes


When someone does something stupid....like lets. say pours gas on themselves and lights the gas on fire. They die, from their own stupidity. Are we then supposed to feel sorry for them?

Where does one draw the line from being sorry to being....I cant think of the word.
