Would You Hire This 'entertainer' For Your Child's Birthday Party??

[wolf63]

A birthday party with a difference for your children. This is what they say on youtube:

"Giant albino Burmese python swims with girl.

This is our 8 yr. old Burmese Python named Sumatra.

She has been to over 500 birthday parties and many schools, she has been around kids since she was a baby, she has never killed anything she even likes our dogs and cat."

wolf63 - //Andy - I don't think that animals such as reptiles or creepy crawlies have the mental ability to make bonds of friendship with humans. Our expectations are too high and their brains are not wired that way.//

My point exactly. The notion that this poor animal 'likes' other animals, or indeed 'likes' being dragged around to childrens' parties is a fallacy.

Simply because reptiles and insects lack the capacity to express their discomfort and pain is not a reason to abuse them - my premier reason for loathing and avoiding programmes like 'I'm A Celebrity' which capitalise on the abuse of insects for entertainment.
