These jackasses make it seem like the snakes are going to eat the children. While I understand the police have the right to seize the snakes, due to the fact that they are illegal in that city, writing this article is just fear mongering on the part of the writer. The fact that they try to imply that the kids were in danger, by mentioning the two brothers that were killed by the rock python, just made me want to puke.
The way the article is written , is makes it sound like they had 40 snakes in one container. These idiots really should know what they're talking about before they write this stuff. The thing that was worse than the article was the comments from the morons posting the comments below. These dimwits know absolutely nothing about the husbandry of BP's yet they write that the snakes were stressed by being in the tote containers. They are so quick to condemn the people as bad parents just because of the fact that they own harmless snakes.
The more likely scenario is that they guy and his wife were breeders on their way to/from a reptile convention , and had the unfortunate luck to stop for the night at that motel.
Let this be a warning to anyone travelling through Brantford Ont. , DON'T STOP FOR THE NIGHT IF YOU'RE TRANSPORTING BALL PYTHONS!
I just hope these people are able to get their snakes back.
