Looking at the video from your point of view, i can feel your concern.. because you have been brought up very differently.. but believe me, this is not at all child abuse... and its not at all dangerous..

These people are tribals. The snake is defanged and has no poison whatsoever. These people actually worship snakes and the children actually grow up playing with snakes.

This isn't animal abuse either because most of these snakes are ones that have been "rescued" from lands that were previously jungle but have now been turned into concrete jungles...

If you visit these villages, you will find children walking around with snakes in their hands, you'll find snakes comfortably sleeping inside the house with the families. The villagers feed the snakes and take care of them like their own child.

The snake is a sacred animal in India and is worshipped. You can google for "naag panchami."

India is a strange beautiful land.. you must visit, stay and feel it to understand the harmony between man and animal.


P.S. Check out this link below.. normally people would be shocked.. but to me, this is peaceful coexistence in the true sense.. and a beautiful bond between man and animal :)

  • De-fanging cobras is animal abuse, plus the snake could have injured the child's eyes by striking at them. I get it's not poisonous anymore, but still I think it's a careless move by the parents.

  • @doubleAAbatteries687 Cobras are not constrictors.

  • Even though the snake has been defanged and has no poison,the snake can still choke her to death.

  • i dont care how this kid was raised, cobras are deadly to everyone, this is child abuse

  • @lantech actually the cobra is a poisonous snake :) But they probably just sewn it's mouth shut. This still is dumb though

  • This is way to dangerous why would a father let there baby try to grab a cobra but at least the the mouth was sewn shut

  • Poor baby , what a God damn father he or she has .

  • Okay I'm pretty sure they wouldn't just let a dangerous snake near a baby. That thing has to be trained plus it's mouth is sewn shut. I've seen this before in another country. People can't be that stupid.

  • @TooFlyForMoney If you've only heard of it, does that mean you dont have one yourself, and you're doing exactly what you just told the other guy not to do?
