I agree with this wholeheartedly. I abhor that they would harm the snake out of ignorance...but I would think cutting it would have been pretty effective at removing it. One thing they also do not mention in the article is whether the snake was just squeezing to keep from falling or if it struck and constricted. Two very different things, IMO. The way the snake holds and the difficulty of removing it are very different. I guess it wouldn't matter to the media though.
