Animal Cops San Fran

Obviously her arm was much warmer than the dead rabbit, and the snake got confused. The animal police came out and wrestled it off her, and then they did a little narration on why the woman was at fault, and ultimately her sister was responsible. Aparently the sister moved, and couldnt take it, so it was left with a total novice, she wasn't instructed how to properly care for the animal, and got bit, it could have been worse, it only constricted her arm. I think it might have been Animal Cops Houston, I find that they seem much more knowledgeable, but their animal behavior specialist seems to always want to put the dogs down, we joke in my house, "those puppies are too cute, gotta put em down." Animal cops NY seems to rehab a large percent, Houston puts down all dogs with a hint of aggression, even if they were starved for months and show food aggression, this can be dealt with as they put on weight.
I have noticed the Houston one does a terrific job with reptiles. They picked one up the other day (can't remember what it was for the life of me - we watch it at work) and he handled the snake easily and pointed out that it was "friendly" unlike the florida one where I have seen the "reptile expert" (not tha animal cop) use a snake hook on a ball python.
