People are stupid

Grunngg Nov 06, 2006 11:09 PM

I work for a nature center in New Jersey and yesterday we got a phone call about a large white snake dead wrapped around a tree branch. I went to take a look at it and found it was a 6 foot Albino Burmese Python...Yeah, in New Jersey, way out at the edge of the woods. Poor thing looked like it made its way up the branch to bask, hoping to warm up since its been so cold out. It's a shame its just been way to cold at night for it to even stand a chance. I'm guessing some moron released it. I wonder if he/she would appreciate sleeping outside for a few nights without anything to keep them warm? What an upsetting way to die.

What's frightening is that there are alot of them --- stupid people I mean. You won't believe how many people I run across wanting to buy cb baby kingsnakes and release them on their property to kill rattlesnakes. As far as nature is concerned peole do so many harmful and idiotic things without knowing the environmental and legal consequences of their actions. Makes Hosea 4:6 all the more relevant.

I just got a albino burm that was abandon alongside railroad tracks. There was another dead snake with her, poor thing. Luckily she's in decent condition and being treated for pnemonia, but the future looks good for her.
