python eats cat alive.

[grumpyoldtrout]

We have cats, all are indoors, well were we only have 1 old one now, but the problems we have are other folks cats in the flowerbeds.



GRRRRRR

meh our cats get into fights. One of the cats on our street(a huge one!) always comes into our garden and the cats run into the house, one fought it before and got bit on the ear. So what if that cat killed one of mine in my garden, do I get to prosecute the neighbour? I doubt it. It's unfortunate and a worse circumstance then the cat and python but I bet no one would care, however if my cat goes walking into someone's kitchen via a open window and gets eaten by someone's adult black throat monitor which was roaming the kitchen, people would be outraged that they owned some huge dangerous animal. Where as if it had been a labrador(for some reason people seem to ignore the statistics on their aggression) that killed it they'd say it was my cats fault or something.

The thing that made me laugh was they say "We feel so many owners of these lethal ‘pets’ are guilty of the same underestimation of the creatures’ wild instincts."

Yet, they let their cat out wherever it wants, and I don't doubt for a second, that it catches and eats birds, mice, whatever you like. In my opinion that is no different.

it ing irritates my how people dont care that millions of dogs kill million of cats and that cats kill peoples birds and fish and no one brings out a campain about cats but when one cat gets killed by a snake there is outrage and a call for snakes to be licenced

oh i am with you 100% in the immortal words of my mate, "It's ya business!!" the cat trespassed, he got munched. at least the snake asphyxiated (sp?) it first and then swallowed it. if it had roamed in my mates garden you would have heard the screams of 2 GSD's tearing it apart like a fluffy toy. i reckon they should be pleased - its gota be a better death than being hit by a van....

I heard a statistic on that wierd animal injury programme on BBC3 that a quarter of a million, 250,000, cats are killed on the roads annually, should we call for a ban on cars or what? Still stupid leaving a burm unnattended, could scale a fence no problem.

The Bristol Evening Post made several attempts to contact Mr Bishop but he was unavailable for comment.

Did they check the Snake? haha.

[DragonFish66]

it would only be the owners fault if the snake got out in a public area i think he should be keeping a eye on the snake at all times while it was out any animal going on private property is fair game look at how many dogs are shot running wild in farmers fields worrying the stock the poor snake might of been worryed

[gone fishin]

the propoghanda on that website for the petition is unbelivable, cutest little kitten pictures and open mouth teeth baring gapes of huge snakes etc... it was an accident, curiosity killed the cat.

my cat is an indoor cat as she is very timid and hides everytime theres a knock at the door (bless her).ive got a beardie and a crestie and i never leave her alone in the living rm incase she scares them but then again shes scared of the bloody hamster so its probably the other way round.if anything happened to her if she got outside i would be mortified but sadly thats life.i agree the python shouldnt have been left outside by itself for its own safety if nothing else but u cant blame the snake for doing what is nature to it.this is a sad story but its not anyones fault in my opinion.
