This is a clear example of someone who enjoys watching snakes eat, to see the other animal suffer.

Also, snakes do constrict their prey for a reason, and doing something like this is dangerous and wrong. If someone did the same thing with a rat, it would be just as wrong and even more dangerous because the rat would probably bite the snake.
There are times when snakes don't constrict.

Fish & Wildlife sees something like that, they will push more to get large constrictors banned throughout the nation. They will assume people simply cannot properly take care of them. That means your snake will become illegal and you will have to surrender it.

See anything wrong with it now?
This video did not take place in our country. I doubt this single video will do anything. There's videos of about every other pet doing something one could consider horrible.
