Need some perspective (gore)

[hoax]

I am pretty angry about something, which means I am probably not seeing things clearly. I would like some of the folks here with tabula rasa to review the situation and tell me if I'm being unreasonable.

The following photo is of a snake that is currently in the condition depicted in the photograph:


The person who has this snake now claims to have "rescued it from the freezer" - as in a guy at a petshop left a rat in with this snake and was going to freeze it when he discovered her in this condition. The "rescuer" took the snake home and has rinsed her wounds with betadine, but not taken the snake to the vet for pain meds, ABs, or any other kind of evaluation or treatment. The list of excuses for this is a mile long. She is online asking strangers for treatment advice but completely ignores calls for the animal to be taken to the hospital.

Is it just me or is this... abhorrent beyond belief? Am i just being emotive? Should this snake just... be allowed to try to heal itself with no treatment or pain meds? I just can't get over that someone would allow an animal to suffer like this. I said in a fit of anger that i'd like to call animal control on this person, and they offered their address so i could do it. I am afraid AC would laugh at me if i did it, and it would be horribly awkward all the while "hi, i was online and someone was being mean to a snake". like... wtf.

Please tell me i'm not crazy

What, if anything, can i do?? I am so upset...

I removed the picture because seeing it once was to much. I think if you have the address then you should call animal control for sure. If this moron is so stupid that they will not help this animal then some one must help. She is not saving the snake she is destroying it slowly
