Some people should be imprisoned for life.

I remember seeing this story.

The Miami Herald said this:

Vodou practitioners will write a person’s name on a piece of paper, gather other items related to that person and insert them into the snake and sew its mouth shut. Mullin said nothing was found in the snake, but it’s possible they could have disintegrated.

“It creates a state of agony in the animal,” Hernandez said. “It’s so that the human [who is being cursed] feels dragged, agonized, desperate.

“It’s very dark witchcraft.”

Poor snake, whoever did that needs to be put away for a long, long time.

In cases like this it should be completely legal to beat someone with a shovel and then bury them with it. What the hell would go through someone's mind doing that to an animal

OMG those cultist at little baby's scared to get bit by a ball python. See if it was rattle snake at least then it makes some sense cause nobody wants to bit by a rattle snake for obvious reasons but a ball python? Jez complete needless cruelty for no reason oh wait there was a reason these cultist are scared and don't want to get pecked by a ball python. What a shame hope the little guy shapes up.

**************Update**********





On a whim, I emailed the Miami-Dade FD to see if they might have an update on what happened to the little python.

I got a reply from Lt. Mullin who rescued the little girl, and he said that she survived. She was adopted by a local breeder and "Ball Python fanatic" who nursed her back to health. She is feeding normally and has shed twice since December.

Sounds like the story has a good ending.


PS- I also dropped the name of the forum, and am hoping that maybe we see a thread pop up so we can enjoy her progress.

I don't think they did this for fear of being bitten, it was likely witchcraft. (voodoo). Snakes are a huge part of many cult-type ideas like these. Also, I have to say, I don't agree that it's okay, by any means, to do this to a rattlesnake or another animal. If the animal bites, why don't you just let it be instead of going through the danger of capturing it and seriously injuring it? Euthanizing it instead would be more appropriate.

I personally can't think of a single good reason, with the exception of the SNAKE's health, to remove it's fangs. I don't know anything about whether the fangs can develop health issues, or if in certain cases infections were present and teeth needed to be removed for the snake's health. If you don't want to be bit by a rattler, don't handle them. Leave it to the proper trained snake handlers. Sewing ANY animals mouth shut is CRUEL and in my opinion should be met with an eye for an eye punishment. NO ANIMAL should have its mouth sewn shut, EVER. There are ways to keep an animals mouth closed temporarily if need be, and in educational, scientific, or health-related situations I can understand TEMPORARILY.
