Escaped snake kills two children in New Brunswick

Well here is a sad turn. The Department of Natural resources actually gave him the snake 10 years ago when they confiscated it from someone else.......

Also it was a long weekend here in New Brunswick and the owner may have been a bit tanked and never heard anything. ( complete speculation)

Also no word from either of my contacts.

Pics of the children.....

Jay BRewer owner of prehistoric pets is going to be on Cnn tonight to talk about it. No time frame.

The less media coverage this gets, the better.

Brewer is on cnn's New day this morning 6-9 EST & 3-6 Pacific. Not last night.

A guy I now on another forum will be on fox news this Saturday.

Jerry (snakeman) is a great guy (I know him from an amazon tree boa forum) and should be a good voice for the snake community.

I hope this incident doesn't simply become more fodder for anti-keeping legislation but it seems inevitable.
Sad and tragic that this happened.

Every article I've read, has "ban the snakes" comments. Most people seem to view this as proof that snakes are evil and should never be kept. Then there are a few nuts who segue into the "no one should keep any pet,period"

But I still can't shake the unhappy feeling that we haven't heard everything. Why were the two boys alone in the living room, but their friend (who they were having the sleepover with) was in the same room as the father. Why has the owner's story changed, from it was downstairs, to it was in a cage in the upstairs apartment. I don't like where my suspicions are headed, but I seen to many cases where the animal gets blamed, only to discover the owners were covering something hinky up.

A message from founder Jay Brewer regarding his televised interview this morning:

"Those poor children! I cannot imagine loosing two of my kids, but I would want to know the TRUTH! All of it. I would want to know why there was no bites, no blood, & no trauma?

Reports said at first Savoie tried to wake the boys, why would you think they would wake up? Because they looked like they were asleep with eyes closed.

Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer. It leaves no bite marks, no blood, & no trauma. Comes from ventilation pipes (which were broken by the pythons escape) and goes to the lowest points in the room... the floor were the kids where sleeping.

Also the preliminary autopsies came back as asphyxiation again pointing away from the python. Harry Greene professor and snake expert at Cornell University explains "constrictors do not kill by asphyxiation" and Brad Chambers further details "snakes kill by a catastrophic spike in blood pressure and cardio pulmonary failure"

Too much suggesting something different happened! Why are these questions not being answered by the news? Why is the information being withheld? Is it possible the story would no longer be sensational?

Last night I thought I would have the opportunity to share these FACTS along with the many others that make this terrible incident questionable and try to show the normal characteristics of pythons.

After all our company Prehistoric Pets has had million of safe and educational interactions with children. This is COMPLETELY out of character for these snakes.

Unfortunately I was not given the chance from CNN. Instead of playing the over 30 minutes of responses recorded, just seconds of the interview was edited, reinterpreted, and misrepresented.

This is an EXTREMELY disappointing showing from CNN who I hoped would report on the truth instead of the narrative they would like to lead. I went on to defend not only pythons, but the TRUTH in the media.

I will no longer assume in naivety that my words will be shared in their entirety and will no longer take any pre-recorded interviews with news outlets such as these that aim to push an agenda instead of the facts."
