Officials: Escaped Pet Python Strangled Child

i dont blame the python... he was pissed of from being in a bag !!

**Also** Why was the Snake kept in a bag? As already said, this kind of thing would never happen with a well-kept, healthy and happy Snake. However, it goes without saying that the death of the child was needless and tragic. This story makes me very sad.

IMO, the Snake killing a kid and not eating it is ridiculous. The Snake would have every means of eating something that small. And even if the Snake DID kill the kid, owners' fault for not securing the cage.

The number of "deadly snakes" is in the millions.
Most so-called attacks are brought on by neglect to the snake, such as starvation, mishandling, etc.

Pet Dogs kill 27 children under age 4 and 380,000 injured and death in adults.
You don't hear fluffy animal stories because they look cute.
This is Propaganda at it's best with choppers in the air like there is a monster killing people.

You do here stories on the news (mostly deaths). Most news stories are of very rare occurrences. It's not every day a kid is strangled by a snake (I hope at least..)

you gotta be kidding me? This idiots from news want to say how pythons are dangerous pets and they killed only 12 PPL !
come on.. i guess 10 of them deserve to be killed cause they abused snake.. this guy abused snake too i bet...
Dogs can get aggressive and kill human easily.. that happens more often than a python kills human..

Horses don't hunt down people for food.

neither do snakes.

It's the fact that more people are being killed by horses but no one is trying to outlaw keeping them.
