Poor thing. I assume it's had its teeth removed? I saw a Steve Irwin programme once where they did this in Thailand. The cobras' teeth were removed, and the cobra was set upon a tethered baby monkey. The monkey was screaming in terror, while its mother was forced to watch, then let loose to attack the cobra. Apparently this was done as a kind of roadside 'entertainment' for tourists.

So depressing. Evil or Very Mad

I've seen similar things on the telly with the
so call snake charmers of India.Most of the
snakes are defanged,it's just a slow death
for them.Sick ****ers.

I know if live lived in a country with venomous
snakes about,I wouldn't want to be desensitizing
a child to them.
