Messed up - the snake would have had it fangs removed.

You can't knock someone in their cultural beliefs the people there have probably been doing that for thousand of years. A lot of people think people over here are crazy for letting big dogs be around their babys.atoria56

My beliefs are born out of the Enlightenment so yes I can knock other peoples traditions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEVq_fGsY-o&feature=related Can you believe some idiot parents actually did this? That is awful. Why the hell isn't the baby crying? Wouldn't that hurt? And this video makes me happy I was born in America instead of some weird third world country where this stuff is normal.MM87

Simply put, the snake has been butchered. THat's why it's not hurting the baby.

Think about this from the snake's perspective. It was minding its own business when it was caught. It was then sliced up, with its fangs pulled out and its venom glands likely removed. The snake is confused, scared, and in a lot of pain, and then it's thrown into a pit with a bigass baby who just keeps on coming at it.

**** the baby, I feel sorry for the snake.

Well I guess having a dog around a baby is just as stupid.atoria56

People can knock you just as much. Using your beliefs as a crutch is no different than the "Traditional institutions, customs, and morals" that you judge.

This is tourism fueled by western desires to see weird crazy exotic ****. Do you think they do this stuff for themselves? No, they stage this stuff for Americans (for example) who DON'T see this stuff on a regular basis and are likely to pay money for a good show. It's the modern day equivalent of a minstrel show, where a black dude might but on a "stupid black man" act so that white people might throw him a couple of bucks.

Having said that, as cruel as this is, the people doing it are likely dirt poor. And when you're in complete and utter poverty, feeding your kids is a little bit more important than being respectful of nature or treating your culture in a positive light. the hell with that, that baby needs to EAT, and people are gonna pay to see Cobra vs Baby. Sad, but that's how it goes.

Well I see enough exotic crap in my neighborhood lol. Now before we say its for exotic purposes you must also wonder if they do it to reach a higher self along with teaching their kids to be tough,

Just like your judging the whole snake population. I can make that statement since you say that a trained pet would not do that but apparently they do.

Well I guess you are wrong then because a properly trained pet can attack at anytime. What we forget is those animals are living beings they can be conditioned to not do something but still decide for themselves that they want to do it.

Look at how animals live- just the way we would without the structure we've imposed- and you can see that our morals are really just behaviors that have been enforced since birth. Our understanding of right and wrong is based on arbitrary values that we've been exposed to our whole lives.

Unless one group imposes their morals on another autonomous group, I don't see how what "they" do is any of "our" business and we have no right to judge them.

Omg you really believe they can not think for themselves they are living beings like, I have been chased by a well trained pet people have attacked by well trained pets. What dogs where you around because to me sound like the training was beat into them thats probably why they were so docile. BTW So are you

Hmm thats true but have you heard about the trainer who was killed by his own bear and now they want to kill the bear. What kind of mess is that if it were not for the trainer the bear probably would not be so angry and the trainer himself would still be alive.

Maybe if you clarified your point more it would not be misinterpreted. How do you know they were not trained dogs? The dog that I was chased by was a retriever that actually followed its owners every word (keep in my mind that at this time I was only 7) that goes to show that it is not going to listen to everything. BTW No matter what you still keep repeating yourself

Let's put it this way...I'm sure that Siegfried trained his tiger VERY well, and never thought that the tiger would rip his ****ing face off.

That's the thing about animals. One must consider how well the animal is trained, then one must ALSO consider the consequences of being WRONG about how well the animal was trained.

Example. Once I found a website where some people owned a big monitor lizard, and thought it would be cute to take a picture of their young daughter holding it. So I click on the link and see a little girl (who can't be much older than 6) holding a 7 foot long monitor lizard. The lizard's head was ****ing bigger than the girl's head, and its mouth was right next to her throat.

And **** like that bothers me. Because lizards don't get "tame". Sure, they might never bite you. They might even cuddle up to you in order to get warm. But for everything they do that indicates that they are tame, they do NOT like people. At best, they get so acclimated to thepresence of people that they are completely and utterly indifferent. But they DON'T like you. They are not biologically inclined to like ANYONE. They are not pack animals. They are solitary animals that are forced to get used to being manhandled by large potential predators on a regular basis. Some individuals deal with this very well, and some don't. Personality of the individual animal plays a large part in this.

Maybe if you clarified your point more it would not be misinterpreted. How do you know they were not trained dogs? The dogs that I was chased by was a retriever that actually followed its owners every word (keep in my mind that at this time I was only 7) that goes to show that it is not going to listen to everything.
