Natural Selection…

When will people figure out that it’s probably best to leave animals that belong in the wild where they belong?
*sigh*
From FOX News:

Pet Python Kills Man in Indiana

LANESVILLE, Ind. — A 14-foot pet python crushed its owner to death, authorities said Tuesday after finding the snake loose in a southern Indiana shed with the man’s body.

Patrick Von Allmen, 23, was found Monday evening in the shed near Lanesville, about 15 miles west of Louisville, Ky.

A medical examiner determined that the death was consistent with asphyxiation caused by compression of the neck and chest, said Conservation Officer Mark Farmer.

Oh, wait…that’s not even the best part:

Indiana law does not restrict ownership of snakes, and the python was returned to the family.

(Emphasis added by me.)
So, the python manages to kill one of these “expert” reptile handlers and the family takes it back?? Why…does it “make good eatin’?”
If this were a dog, they’d have been required to put the animal down. Instead, they take a pet that’s far dangerous and just give it back to the family—and they agreed!
Wow.
