I read all of the news stories presented. As a father I had a dozen different emotions flowing through me as I was struggling to finish the stories. It's so hard to comprehend the lack of care for the child and snake. Being a stoner is no excuse either.
Just a pure, senseless tragedy.
I have always had a passion for the Big Cats. When I got to play with a "tame" Mountain Lion as a teen I was even more enamored (sp). As a newlywed I came upon an opportunity to purchase a Mountain Lion. I did live on a ranch at the time. I don't think that I had ever desired something as much in my whole life, including the present. But I knew that we were planning a family in a few years. I passed on the Cat. There was just no way that I would take that gamble with my children, even with a remote chance of danger.
