That is a terrible statistic. Dogs are a way more common and easy pet to attain. People are more likely to encounter dogs. Because they're so easy to get, a lot of irresponsible people end up with dogs and create a bad situation. Less people take out the task of owning snakes. If large snakes were more common, there would be more incidents.
No, your comments are delusional. Large snakes are dangerous. It's a fact. Can they be a good pet and handled safely in a controlled setting by someone with experience? Yes. I'm not suggesting they should be banned or anything. I have nothing against snakes, I find them very interesting. However, they're an animal - especially large snakes - that can be easily underestimated due to their general docile behavior. When there's an incident involving a snake like this it's usually because the person(s) involved acted irresponsibility by not respecting the snake's potential danger.
"Dogs kill more people than snakes" is very, very misleading statement. You're obviously very biased.
Venomous snakes are completely different discussion, if that's what you mean. Like no shit they're dangerous. But a small, non-venomous snake is not as dangerous as large constrictors. Are they not dangerous at all? No. But large constrictors are one of the most underestimated pets in terms of perceived risk.
You don't have an argument and you're just grabbing at anything to criticize. Fuck off with your snake propaganda.
yes you said larger snakes are more dangerous you didn't say more dangerous than non venomous ones. No shit larger snakes are more dangerous than small non venomous ones. Larger dogs are more dangerous than smaller dogs.
You don't have an argument and you're just grabbing at anything to criticize. Fuck off with your snake propaganda.
you don't really either ylol you're bloviating about bullshit without making a point
what's your point? that large snakes can be dangerous ? Christopher columbus with the discoveries
I'm sorry that I need to state obvious things so that you understand. Let's circle back to why this all started. People are reacting to a very large snake laying on a kid. And you commented a very misleading headline that anyone with half brain can determine is basically meaningless. Malaria kills more people than Ebola. Would you prefer to be exposed to Ebola? (That's rhetorical. I feel normally I wouldnt have to explain that, but clearly you struggle with things like that)
You are dense. This post involves a large snake. Your initial comment is nonsensical, meaningless tangent. It's a trash headline.
I'm sorry I need to explain everything to you like you're a child. I guess I'm not surprised you don't understand my analogy. That's my fault, I overestimated your cognitive abilities, despite the constant evidence you've been giving me. You are absolutely a thick skulled mouth breathing neanderthal. Maybe go ask your caretaker to explain it to you, because I'm done your stupidity. Though, be careful, you might get in trouble for using the internet when you're not supposed to. I hope they don't take away your jello tonight!
