2 Cobras -Cobra Snake Charmer

My name is chuck jonkey. I travel the world recording music and filming for my "Sonic Safari Music" record label (www.sonicsafarimusic.com)
I was traveling in southern India and happened upon this snake charmer with 2 cobras.

@wrylie188 they dont always do such things in hinduism a snake charmer commonly develops a strong bond with his snake and will never harm it. also it is not the peoples fault blame the government who refuses to bring them jobs. this forces them to snake charm.

"Snakes Charmers

Although still performed in India, other parts of Asia, and North Africa, snake charming as a profession has declined in recent years because of wildlife protection laws and broader public knowledge about the reptiles. Snakes kept by charmers may have their teeth removed, venom ducts burst, and mouths sewn shut. ... snakes are virtually deaf."

You know, when doing this, they cut out the snakes fangs and stitch the mouth closed so that it cant bite anyone, the snakes usually die of starvation after a couple months. There needs to be an indian SPCA >:(
