This is what really pisses me off about traditional BS artists! They use these animals and TOTALLY misrepresent them, and have NO regard for the animals safety.
I have seen storys down here in South Africa where it is believed that snakes cause your house to be cursed, the traditional healer then comes and catches the snake in your house (usually a planted Burmese python) and sets it alight on your lawn to break the curse.
The authorities usually can’t do anything about this sort of thing as it is seen as part of their culture…
Traditional healers have also been granted full medical right down here (they can claim from medical schemes etc. ) nailing this sort of thing has become even more of a challenge.
The worst thing is, we down here in SA can barely keep Afrocs because of legislation. But the locals can kill them for food because “it is part of their culture…”
Gotta love Africa…
