Story of the Day

Apologies of the above photo is in bad taste with the story below--I wanted to balance the sadness with something silly.

Earlier this week, an albino Burmese python strangled and killed a two year old girl in a small town 50 miles from Orlando.

The python belonged to the boyfriend of the little girl's mother. It had broken free from it's holding tank in the night and found it's way into the little girl's bedroom. Tragic.

This is why people should not have wild animals as pets!

According to the article, there are as many as 150,000 Burmese pythons living in the Florida Everglades.
Keep in mind that these snakes are native to Southeast Asia.

This means that people who buy these snakes realize that they can't handle taking care of them, and then they release them into the wild.

STOP BUYING SNAKES PEOPLE.
