I just wondered if you thought this was 'ethical' to do to an animal (i know what I think)\
Okay then no, I do not believe that this is ethical. If I were to own a cobra (actually one of the easiest snakes to tame) I would take the risk and have some antivenom handy instead of buying a mutilated animal. To do so is to encourage them to continue mutilating these cobras.
