Escaped snake kills two children in New Brunswick

Thanks for sharing, Joe. Since I wasn't up that early, I've been looking for video of the interview and have come up with nada. I did manage to catch a couple minutes of Jeff Corwin's "expert" opinion last night though.

Are any of us surprised that anything other than, 'the snake did it' isn't being given a fair shake? They want the snake to be the cause, because that's way more exciting than any other ol' crime scene and must be fantastic for advertisers and ratings.

Is there anything at all we can do to get an opposing side out there in the media? USARK and a couple others have issued statements, but if you're not subscribed to them on facebook you won't see it. It's not fair to be muzzled like this, and we shouldn't roll over and allow it to happen. There's got to be a way to first of all, express sincere condolences to the humans, and secondly voice the questions that need to be answered.

I see so much hate being directed at reptile people out there. If this were regarding race, it would be shut down. But since it's a species that the bible fingered as evil long ago, things are a-ok.

So sad today.

Wow, why am I not freaking surprised a news org would do that.

Anger.

This. The fact that no other opinion is even given a chance is just dumb. I can't say that I expected any better of our fantastic news agencies....

I would like to reiterate that there were bite marks according to the news up here.

I am listening to Cbc radio and a zoo keeper from moncton is in there removing animals.... illegal animals. Poorly kept animals too.

He sounds knowledgeable. Thankfully he is promoting education and that certain animals shouldn't be kept but most herps are a okay.

Weird that this has been somewhat under reported in all the stories if in fact true. Have you ever been tagged by a python? Or seen someone tagged by one? Ever notice how much bleeding takes place even from an average sized snake? Now take one the size of this Afroc and think of the injury it would cause if it bit you. Ever seen in some of those python hunter shows when a guy gets tagged by a big boy, they need stiches, they bleed a ton, have gaping holes in their flesh, and it is beyond obvious they were bitten. So if this python killed those kids to eat, it would stand to reason that the scene would almost be a blood bath you would think. Even if bitten through clothes. Most people sleep in pretty light clothing for bed and not a pair of jeans, but even with jeans I would think a big pythons teeth would go right through and cause a ton of bleeding. I would think that would be a huge thing mentioned in these reports, but there is hardly anything. Something just seems really off with this whole ordeal.

You're right Markus! It must be the Illuminati or maybe even aliens.

Anyway here is the link to the donations for those want want to help. I can't find the proper page from my phone but try this.

News reporting is usually horrible and one sided when it comes to reptiles. They don't want to hear, Yeah they bite hard, They want to hear, It's bite can cave a grown mans skull in. Blah!
