"P.S. I could care less what happens to the kid holding the atrox.....he'll get what he deserves."

IMHO that is the main problem. Even though we could care less what he does or what happens to him while he does that, his actions and the ramifications of his actions affect us all.

I have 0, Zero, None, Nada venomous snakes, but everytime the news plays a story that someone got bite by a 'hot' I hear none stop, "you shouldn't have those", "what happens if your kids get bite?!", etc...

Stupidity, no matter where it is effects us all. That is where the problem is. And as far as other pictures of 'hots', proper handling should be shown, you want to lessen the fear of snakes by showing that with the proper training they are not these horrible monsters waiting to attack your kids when they step outside. As far as who judges right and wrong handling, it ain't me, but there are plenty of others qualified to desern that.
