If you mean you know him personally, please pass on our condolences.

Kid kills 10-foot Albino Burmese Python

Albino Burmese are my favorite "snake I want but they're too large and dangerous for my tastes" animal, and I just...gah.Yes, I do know him personally. When I lived in Kentucky I sat up booth at the same reptile show as him. He always has a great variety of animals set up and such. I've seen him there with the same snake that was lost. I'm sure he would appreciate all the kind thoughts going out here. I'd like to get a hold of that brat as well. What disgusts me most though, is I bet that family has said something along the lines of "It was just a snake." People disgust me sometimes.

thats just awful and disgusting. That level of violence to someone elses animal without thought is just disgusting and in a public place! The child did it without reguard of any form of thought for the owner, the snake or anyone around who might see.
I mean...who does that? Who does that without thinking "im about to be seen, in front of the owner and the public"
That father should have grabbed his child, taken him to the owner to explain his disgusting actions, to say sorry a thousand times, to pay the cost of the snake and to make the child face upto fear and WORK with the animals to get a better understanding and acceptance of other living things
But then...who would want a public snaked killer to work with their animals.
Im just disgusted and I hope guilt makes them come forward!

Clearly, the child is absolutely disturbed and needs intense counselling; his behavior puts up a red flag for future violent behavior towards animals and probably humans. I wouldn't mind seeing some time in juvie for felony aggravated animal cruelty myself, but we barely put people away for brutally murdering mammals, and lord knows our poor dear reptiles have an even lowering standing in the legal world.
The father should definately have to pay for the snake. I personally think he should also have to pay for whatever fee this man charges to display his animals, as the experience was undoubtedly ruined for the rest of the crowd and the facility hosting deserves it's money back - on the hands of the ass who ruined it!

I think that it can be blamed on the father too as something is very wrong in the way that he is raising his son. Read more:They should Euthanize the kid. It isn't the fathers fault his son is an idiot, They should find the kid who did it, the family should be fined for the value of the snake. Although it would be nice if the kid was punished I suspect he will get away with it.
" His father who, obviously embarrassed, grabbed the boy’s hand and pulled him back into the festival crowd accompanied the boy. The only words said by the boys father were - “that’s why I can’t take you anywhere.” The father and his son were not seen anywhere near the petting zoo and never once appeared concerned that they had just killed this large beautiful reptile. Scott shook his head is disgust, loaded his deceased snake into a box and packed up his remaining reptiles for the long drive back to Dry Ridge."
I wonder if those words are the only punishment that kid gets...
Still a very sad story, 1 of those stories that i personally wouldn´t want to read..
This would have been responsible parenting but obviously not the case here. I don't mean to tell people how to raise their children but when your child is acting out like this I think it is a good time to reassess your methods.:evil:

most shrinks are why our kids are this way in the first place !!!
dont spank them it will harm thier self image! good grief, if they are bad kids they shouldnt have a good self image DUH they should be spanked so they know that bad actions get bad punishment. then they will learn to be good and have a good self image then and only then. And anyone who tries to outlaw spanking our kids should be drawn and quartered.
BEFORE all this crap got started , people didnt even think of taking guns to school because daddy would beat the crap out of us if we did. We knew certian things would cause us pain so we didnt do them. PEOPLE have to have somethign bad happen before they will be good. thats just the way we are. no amount of talking to a kid will do it.

That is the worst thing I have read in forever. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about how the snake's owner felt, because I can only imagine what I would have done in retaliation.
Being violent toward animals without remorse like this is an early sign of sociopathic and antisocial behavior. That kid needs serious help before he becomes a serial killer or something. Great job parenting, dad. I hope he reads about this in the newspaper and has a chance to feel like crap for raising such a sh** kid.

i don't know if the brat will become a ted bundy or whatnot, but a good spanking may help.

The kid was probably a sociopath. I would have badly disfigured him, then told him straight up that one day he's probably going to become a serial killer, and when he does, I'll personally hunt him down and mutilate him again.

....and all the keyboard warriors come out of the closet...
I can tell you exactly what you would have done if you had been there.... NOTHING. That's right... you might have felt an IMPULSE to beat a young child senseless, but something in your subconscious would have stopped you in your tracks and made you realize that administering vigilante justice on one child is PROBABLY not worth spending the next 5-10 in federal pen. Call me crazy.
Unless you WOULD HAVE actually gone through with it... in which case, you are a more despicable person than this kid has ever been. Sheesh.
Yes, it's horrible. Yes, the kid should be punished... if not by his parents, then by the law. But for God's sake, try to distance yourselves, at least a tiny bit, from the appearance of having the same blind venom you're reviling this kid for. The law, and common sense, are most definitely not on your side here...

..yes agreed mister internet, but it never hurts to hope that something horrible happens to the kid and his father in the future.. you know, karma
maybe when the kid gets older, like around the age of 40, some random child or teen will stomp in his head and he'll die of spine related injuries. but if not... he'll be just another rotten person in the crowd.

So, even after making statements like the above, you STILL feel you have the moral high ground in all of this? Unbelievable.....yes agreed mister internet, but it never hurts to hope that something horrible happens to the kid and his father in the future.. you know, karma

Maybe the child has some sort of mental disability and didn't understand that what he was doing was wrong or hurtful. He may have understood that he didn't like snakes but not that hurting one was bad. Obviously I can't say that that is what happened, but it is a possibility. The fault here in my eyes lies with the father who took off, not with the child. He should have brought the child to apologize to the snake owner to show him what he did was wrong.
Hearing all of you say that this child should be beaten and even killed sickens me.
Note: I just wanted to add that a mental disorder would not excuse what the child did, as nothing could, but it could be an explanation. Especially when you take into account the father saying "this is why I can't take you anywhere". It seems to me that such things (obviously not exactly) have happened before.

thats terrible what happened to that snake. but the kid was wrong. and the father was wrong. and the owner of that snake should of grabbed the kid and pressed charges at least.
i think it would be perfectly legal to grab that kid because after all, its basically considered defending your property.
i honestly think thats the problem with society today. someone does something to you, and if you protect yourself or others your the one treated like a criminal.
even though your innocent.
but thats just me and i probably went alittle off topic with that last thing.
