So most likely due to a persons ignorance, 2 animals were killed because of them being an animal. The puppy most likely for being a curious puppy and the snake for being a snake. They shouldnt have killed the snake, they should have killed the idiot who allowed the snake to escape or kept it in an inadequately secured cage.
And it would be a cold day in hell before i let someone kill one of my snakes for just being a snake. Sad the puppy died but the snake didnt need to die too.
And on a lighter note, you would amazed the looks you get when you walk into a pet shop and ask the manager if they got their delivery of feeder parakeets or feeder kittens in. I walked in and told the manager of the place i've been going to for years "Hey Joannie, you get feeder kittens in this week? My retic is starving and ready for 3 of them succulent morsels!!". A customer who was picking up a dog from grooming just looked at me blankly lol. The manager had to let her know i was just kidding and that the store doesnt sell feeder parakeets or kittens haha.
