RSPCA in local paper

[jav07]

read this in the paper this morning,a cali king was caught in a coppers garden,the story goes on and the wording makes it sound like an absolute bloodthirsty killer.
"the kingsnake is so fearsome it kills and eats other snakes,including rattle snakes"
"the hissing serpent"
"lurking between the brickwork"
and the last one
"however,the animal is not venomous and is often kept as a pet in domestic vivariums,from which this invertebrate is thought to have escaped"
if i was cornered by half the bloody street i would lurk and hiss at them
the snake was taken by the rspca and dropped off at an approved local centre.

well they do eat other snakes and even rattlers but you got to love the way they word it trying make it sound more scary than it really is. LOL.

and it was then transferred to an empty fish tank - with the lid sensibly weighted down.

RSPCA officers were unable to collect it until the following morning, so the scaly guest spent the night in a neighbour's house until it could be picked up.

am i right in thinking thats a bit cruel?
