Man Bites Snake to Death in Revenge (Wth!)

[Pampho85]

A Nepali man who was bitten by a cobra snake subsequently bit the snake to death, a local newspaper reported on Thursday (Aug. 23).

After being bitten by the snake, while he was working in his rice paddy on Tuesday, 55-year-old Mohamed Salmo Miya chased the snake, caught it and bit it until it died, the Annapurna Post reported, according to Reuters.

"I could have killed it with a stick but bit it with my teeth instead because I was angry," Miya was quoted as saying.

Miya, who lives in a village some 125 miles (200 kilometers) southeast of the Nepali capital of Kathmandu, was receiving treatment at a village health post at the time of the news report and was not in danger of dying from his snakebite. He will not be charged with killing the snake, a local police official said, because cobras (called "goman" in Nepal) are not listed as endangered in the country.

In short, a snake has died of manbite.

This is pretty idiotic. For one, the snake was scared so it acted for it's own defense. He should have just let it go, let alone bite it to death. :/
Opinions?

it was his reaction he tought he was going to die so he killed it. i love snakes but if a venemous bit me for some reason i'd react the same way (not by bitting) and kill it.

Anything that bites me gets bit back, but I definitely wouldn't have bit it to do death and no if my snake ever bites me I won't bite, use a lip bite!

Although I do not condone killing the cobra out of vengeance, I did see a deal on TV the other day where people were eating cobra and it got me thinking: I wanna try cobra. Om nom nom!

Gotta make sure you dont look at this with western eyes. We have the luxury of collecting and loving animals but this guys obviously lives a completely different life. Things like this bite could ruin his livelihood easily you know. Still seems like maybe just a bit of an over reaction though lol

It depends. If i was messing with the cobra and it bit me then i wouldnt kill it bc its my own dumb fault. If i was just chillen in my house in nepal and a cobra bit me in my sleep or something then yea id prolly bite it to death. Or kill it and cook it and eat it. You know, to show it whose boss.
