Default David Weathers..?

Hey all, ive seen this on another forum, so to get this section going a little more.. and to probabaly have a little debate again..

So...

Do you like David Weathers, do you think it's "good" what he does...?
Or do you think he's just a idiot, showing off..?

I would like to know what people think...!

(Personally, i dissagree in how he handles his snakes, and IMO i feel its just to show off to the paying public...
But, then again... hes being handling Venomous from 11 years of age..So who am i go judge)

stealing my threads Dec

I personally think hes irresponsible and a liability to himself, I dont think handling snakes like that can be justified because its entertaining but thats just my opinion, I got a different response on the american forum than I thought I would with most people agreeing.

what he does is stupid. BUT he does know about the snakes he plays with (at least seems to)

I voted yes purely for the knowledge.

and with great guy thing, you can't judge a guys personallity in that way without meeting him. So thats a null point for me.

overall Im on the fence. But i don't think he's an idiot (because he does have a lot of knowledge) but i don't agree with his handling methods.

If there was an option for I don't like him for the way he handles his snakes, but otherwise am in no way against him. Then that would be my choice

dec, in your first post, you stated he's been keeping venomous since 11 so who are you to judge, yet you was quick enough to judge the young lad off myspace with the gab's.
