Why would someone do this?

I agree with dealing with uneducated people putting animals out in inhumane conditions completely. but i am still lacking the ability to find freezing t death to be a painless process that's all.

Actually hypothermia is not all -that- unpleasant. You actually start to feel warm and sleepy towards the end.

That being said, snakes don't go through hypothermia. The colder they get, the slower their body operates. After a while it just gets so slow that it just stops.

I would rather freeze to death than be eaten alive.

i think i would have to experience both to make a qualified decision on the subject.

I'd prefer a instant death, thanks. I'm not so curious as to want to experiance either. I hate cold. I put on a sweater to eat ice cream sometimes.

LOL...Thats a Sig worthy quote..hahaha.

Yeah, I have family and used to live in CT. and would NEVER think about releasing a BP there, or anywhere for that matter. I live in FL now and even down here around winter it can ge cold enough to kill any snake in the wild...The study done last year (I believe) showed any snake exposed to cold for over a day or two I think is pretty much dead.

Sucks to hear about irresponsible owners doing things like this.
