The snake just wanted them to stay in the Big 12.

I feel the same way you do about snakes.

While I feel that everything in God's creation has a purpose, I prefer to stay a long way away from some things.

Snakes I kind of mentally put into the creepy catagory (along with spiders, etc.) that I want to stay as far away from as possible.

I favor “Grab butcher knife. Remove 12” at a time...”

I was just thinking that people who own these snakes feed them live furry animals and then watch the snake kill it for entertainment.

There are videos on Youtube showing this, such as this video:

live rabbit fed to python

Showing a Science teacher feeding his pet Boa Constrictor a live rabbit in front of the students in his (high school or college, I can't tell which) Science class.

While I know that is how things go in the wild, it has always bothered me that people feed their pet snake live mammals...

Big snakes wrapped around small children is just wrong...

Strangulation, yes, kill it. A bite, nah.. Don’t kill it.

One could argue that snakes are a Satanic presence, not God’s. Oh yes, and liberals too.

Couldn’t the “friend” grab a knife ?

Depends on how well he "knows" the wife?

I don't know...it's a snake and...maybe I'd have to reevaluate that friendship. lol

Actually, I'm very sad that the man died as a result of his choices.

Years back I had a 4 foot ball python named Ozzie. Snake was dumber than I was, but he always got the best of me. #22 sums it up nicely.
