Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

Woman devastated after 50kg python slithers into her lounge and eats her dog

https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...ers-into-her-lounge-and-eats-her-dog-20180131

A solution for anyone who has had problems with the neighbor's dog.
He says that everything happened so fast, the woman could not do anything to save the dog.

"You cannot kill this kind of snake because it is wild and because it’s on the list of protected species," he says.

I dont know what the laws are in South Africa, but I'll be damned if the law is going to keep me from killing a snake actively eating my pets

I hear ya, but I'm not about to go all Tarzan on a fucking 100+ lbs snake. Sorry, Fido, you're on your own.

True enough, those evil creepers are not picky about what species they smother to death.

Can't imagine having to live with them around, but if I did, ala BuckeyeSoldier, I'd be wearing my gun to bed. Damn right they'd be endangered. They can't go extinct fast enough for me. There are precious few non-human creatures that I actively hate, but the misc. families of constrictors are definitely on my list. Maybe I should never had watched that Anaconda movie.

No wonder the Australians laugh at you guys. Man up! I have six of those snakes in my backyard right now playing with the baby. Punch 'em in the nose and they fall right into line. OK, you lose a kid every now and then, but only the stupid ones. The snakes keep the burglars away or help them find their way into the next world).

You can trust me. I'm in marketing.

I will employ modern weaponry as best I can to kill any snake I come across but if worse comes to worse, I can always buy a new dog.
If God didn't want me to kill snakes, he wouldn't have invented and given me the means to purchase 12 gauge repeating weapons with 00 shot.
