If the snake was terrorizing the dog for DAYS, why did the family wait until the dog was killed before calling someone for help? IDIOTS!

They probably were curious to see what would happen.......hope they are happy now, for traumatizing their own children, for life

I realize where they live, snakes may be a common occurence, even pythons but the mere fact they were forewarned abt a python and they figured out it was after their dog when they found the snake sleeping ON THE DOG'S BED, that should have been the moment to do something abt it.

DAMN...STUPID PEOPLE.

Why on earth ANYONE would have a python that size with a dog is beyond me. Ddin't the parents realize the predatory qualities of this type of snake? As the late Ann Landers would say, they really have a geranium in the cranium. What idiots.

That poor dog

Silly people.

I think the python was roaming the property/area. The family didn't own it (if I read the story correctly.) I get the feeling the family lives somewhere out in the wilderness (not the suburbs).

I know I'm gonna get chewed out for this, but there's a dog about four yards behind me that is so freaking loud when he barks that I'd love to sike the python on

Ireneparalegal · 02-27-2008, 11:50 PM

John, maybe you can sic a python on the owners.

That'll teach 'em.

InspectorExstead · 02-28-2008, 02:38 AM

omg. how sad. poor dog. =(
they should've done something when they saw the snake in the dog's bed. even if it ran away.
uh...granted the locations are very different, but if that had happened to my dog, i would've done something before something happened to my dog.
and now the kids are going to very traumatized for a while.

Okay, gotta love this line; Removing the half-swallowed dog could have harmed or even killed the python, Rose said, because dogs have sharp teeth and claws that could do the snake internal damage if it were wrenched out.

And who the hell cares if the snake dies? I would have taken a shovel to the friggin thing.

I feel bad for those kids but the adults could have prevented this. Poor dog
