Well, I am not going to bash them too hard. I am pretty certain their intent wasn't to insult snake and rat owners. These type of people are often referred to as "sexual predators." And what better predator than a snake?

And you know, I really don't think any of you would have cared if the pictures would have been a little girl with a Tiger or Wolf snarling next to her.

I still don't like it because of the possible negative side effects already mentioned. But I don't think it's as bad as some of you make out.
