hey i was browsing the net and found this story:

"About an hour's drive from me is a garden centre with a pet shop. Over the years it's become known as a centre of excellence for reptile keeping, and they offfer to provide homes for reptiles. I'd wanted to go for a long time, and as soon as we got a car it was one of the first places we visited. They've got all sorts of snakes, loads of iguanas, and even an alligator.

In one of the vivaria they had three very attractive albino burmese pythons. I was watching these snakes when I realised that the keepers were about to do something with them. A big fat woman opened a large door at the back of the snakes enclosure, reached in with a broom handle, savagely cracked one of the snakes three times on the back with the broom handle and then closed the door.


I couldn't beleive my eyes, and asked what she did that for. She told me that it's a good idea to hit large pythons regularly. It teaches them to respect the keepers.

The sad thing is that when I reported this to the R.S.P.C.A. they told me that I was lying, and that the garden centre in question knows what they are doing. The R.S.P.C.A. told me that they take unwanted reptiles there, and how dare I say such nasty things about them."


some people suck
