>>PETA says, nah, it's o.k. because he beat the severed head with the ax handle too. Now we know how to treat those feral kittens, thanks PETA!

That's not actually what the PETA rep said. Here's what they did say:

"Stephanie Bell, cruelty case manager for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said best method, is to stun the snake or pithe it, that is, scramble its brain immediately with a metal tool. She said Wood did the right thing by whacking it on the head to put it out of its misery."

IOW, the guy screwed up by cutting the head off -- but he decreased the severity of his mistake by crushing the skull. Not that cutting the head off was okay.
