I have seen this before. If the Cobra had fangs the child would show a reaction for pain due to the puncture wounds. It makes a direct strike to the face with no visible injury & no blood. I don't think it's sick, just how they do things. It's a trade for them, cobra shows, some are with untouched animals but most have been de-fanged.

I'm more worried about how damn irresponsilble the people laughing are. At the very end, he grabs and grips the Cobra, and you can see it throw a coil around his neck, sad to say it, but I'd say the Snake died in their stupid attempts at getting it off of him.

I think this one is defo de-fanged, but I've seen many programs where families in that part of the world keep them as pets with fangs.

There one about this bloke who's proffesion is dancing with wild caught cobras, but he and his kid practice with the tame family ones. Honestly they are as placid as royals!!!!

it doesnt matter if the people removed the cobras fangs, due to it having reserves, therefore still being able to envenomate, and if its a Venomoid (removed venom glands) the baby would still be in pain from the bite....

Its true you cannot see the snake open its mouth, but thereagain, you cannot see any damage to the snake....

But im my oppinion, its sick, and i hope to god, one of them one day took a bite, and made them learn there lesson
