Default Bad publicity

Hey over the last year,

i have noticed that there's been about 20 story's in the local and national paper were people are complaining about snake,

Most have been youths buying them cheap, mistreating them and using them as weapons witch really hacks me off..

The others are domestic pets keep getting eaten by big snakes that seem to somehow escape. Which is kind of confusing because surely there kept in locked viv's and rubs.??

Is this just me being more alert to it now that i keep reptiles or have there been an increase in trouble with snakes and rep's.

Also there is a petition to get snakes over 6ft banned, witch made me laugh because large snakes are usually constrictors not venomous. gotta laugh eh...

sorry just me ranting now, its starting to hack me off and have made 3 phone calls to local papers telling them to learn the facts before publishing total bull!

Im in the Essex area so anyone in my area fancy giveing them a call go ahead!

Alex
