Reply to comment by BetterMakeAnAccount in Python in Australia drags 5-year-old boy into pool by thesnapening

You know I was just staring at this photo wondering if the kid survived but thank God you corrected the picture of the snake.

Well I read the article before commenting so I feel free to nitpick the stock photo

What's wrong with someone making an informative comment, especially if the news is too lazy to find a photo of the actual species involved?

Well doing that obviously puts you in Team Child Eating Python, luckily Fun Gap was here to get offended.

It’s Australia. They factor animal death into their procreation activities. 😂

Junk news like this puts legitimate pets whit loving owners in danger. Pet Reptiles, even harmless ones like Ball Pythons, are already under attack in the US, Australia, and in some European countries.

Posting a photo of one of the most common, easy to care for, personable, and affectionate pet Reptiles in the world and equating them to a wild animal 3x it's size makes people afraid that the average Joe's pet snake down the road might get out and eat their kid. So they demand it gets banned, and all of a sudden we are looking at a species Whitelist on what can be kept, vs the current blacklist method showing what can't be kept.

You're all overly dramatic I have no idea how you get by day to day.
