python eats cat alive.

Just read this in the evening post, its made front page news.

link enclosed.Pet cat eaten alive by python snake in Bristol garden | News | This is Bristol


Also read related stories about re-classifaction of reps laws.

It begs the question why ws the snake doing out not supervised or in a safe enclosure to make sure the snake stayed safe and also children ect. It irresponbile rep owners like this, who make it bad for the responbile reptile owners. I also dont like the comments the people who e-mailed in saying that " reptiles owners are all chavs."
Just takes 1 bad owner to ruin it for others.

lol have you ever tried to take someonthin a smaller snake was eatin off it.. chanceless.. never mind your pet cat wrestling with a burm lol..

[joeyboy]

at least the RSPCA are saying they don't mind that responsible owners keep burms and other exotics in that article and they didn't seem to support adding them to the DWA.

Its obviuosly not the burms fault , i blame the owner ,, poor moggy .. these snakes are all too often taken to lightly . A burmese is a force to be reckoned with and realy a domestic cat isnt much of a match .. R.I.P little feline one ........

Sorry but I don't see any blame here at all. Just an unfortunate accident. But dogs attack,maggle and kill cats all the time but they're not asked to be put on a list so the owners have a license. I don't get on with my next dog neighbour, we have 3 cats, she has very recently bought a German Sheppard. When I commented that's cute, I was told "We'll see how cute she is when she's eating you f-ing cats!"

I actually agree with licensing the bigger snakes, you just get too many numpties who don't take the necessary precautions to ensure that these sort of things don't happen..I mean why would you leave a burm unattended in your garden?

poor kitty

At last some-one with common sense. TY.
What those who gave Negative comments on here, say if it had been aTot or a baby that had been killed by this lovely snake, all because dumb owner couldnt be bothered to make sure the snake couldnt harm anything.
My friends cat killed a bird other day, did i have a go no, its was in her nature to hunt for prey. She used to have a collar on to stop her, but after he found her in 1 his tree`s nearly strangled by the collar, he took it off, and yes it was meant to be 1 of those safety collars, that if cats got hooked they should slip off. He no longers trusts those collars. She was very lucky to be found and survive her ordeal.
Cats hunt birds, mice ect., dogs hunt anything that moves fast ect.
Sadly Pitbulls now been (even tho now illegal to keep them.) trained to fight other Pitbulls or other dogs, these sick morons feel they need to get their kicks.

im sorry but that made me chuckle lol

i hope in all serious though it does not come to that

i agree it was due to the snake being unsupervised but not being the snakes fault

as they say curiosity killed the cat

[kettykev]

Eaten alive?
It quite clearly says the cat was asphyxiated and consumed.
