SNAKES CONQUER THE WORLD!

Run! Escape!

[Timenn]

Thousands of animals are being killed every day by men, without any good goal, and you don't hear from that.

And now when a snake eats a man to survive, it is in the news??

[Cyborg]

Actually, Timenn, if you look at the bottom picture, they also slayed the snake.

What a waste... They couldn't save the man anyway.

[Acriku]

Exactly Timenn, it's an everyday occurence to have men killing animals. But when the tides turn, something not very common, it's not surprising to make the news.

I think the snake was already dead, how could it even move? think of how long it would take to dissolve the body, ugh

[Navaros]

i wonder how come the snake digested his head and arms first, before anything else

is that a conscious decision that the snake makes? does the snake think: "hmmmmm i am in the mood for some head and arms right now, so i'll digest those first?"

how does that work?

i find this concept very interesting

[Atomic Mitten]

The guy must have had dandruff.Because the snake went for his head and shoulders. ;D

[Dante]

Snakes always swallow the prey head first. This stops things like fur, feathers, scales etc from rubbing it's gullet the wrong way, which could be very painful and possibly damaging. Thus he was swallowed head first, and thus they were digested first.

As for being unable to move and time to digest... Generally snakes that size can't move after they've eaten. Or at least not very fast. After a meal like that, that snake would have just slithered off to somewhere quiet and snoozed lazily, with an occasional drink, for up to and possibly over seven months.

The snake will have been killed by the humans. Stupid, ignorant humans. So the guy was eaten, so what? One less mouth to feed, one less man to pay, one more healthy snake. Why is this such a big deal? Because it's rare. Should we feel sorry for the man? Well perhaps. The snake? Definately.

Yep, that's what I stated in my last post.

Why kill the snake when the man is already dead?

[Duncan_ghola]

Maybe the family wanted to bury his corpse, there are alot of possible reasons, but i think they were just curious

[Cyborg]

So they would kill someone just to dispose of something already dead?

The snake would actually make good use of him, and the family should be happy that he was of good use even after his death...

[Duncan_ghola]

Well, if that was someone like my brother i wouldnt want him being digested by a snake while i was aware of it

[Cyborg]

Would you rather throw him in a coffin and know that his body was digested by smaller organisms?

[Duncan_ghola]

i rather he decomposes in a coffin and eventually poison the water system with his minerals

[Cyborg]

He will actually take up much space in that grave.

well yes. Please be honest. If your mother was on vacation with your father, and your father calls you on the phone telling you that your mother was murdered and digested by a snake. Would you then not want that the snake was killed and that your moms body could be taken back to your country for a normal burial, so you can prove your last honor to her? I find it strange things for you to say.

Yes people do kill thousands of animals everyday, but without it, we cannot live. I live on a farm and we milk cows. And ofcourse once in a while a cow leaves and goes to the butcher. But i have learned to accept this. We are just acting for survival. If the cows got the chance they would also rather see a human die than a fellow cow. Though as twisted as it may sound, we are still part of nature.

[Duncan_ghola]

i found a site that has other pictures, one of this incident and others including one of a crocodile being opened to remove a humans remains, eh youve probably seen worse http://www.weirdpicturearchive.com/animals.html

Flameweaver...

I was trying to look at this in a pracitcal way.

Although I would actually rather have her buried, that's actually bad done to the snake...

i agree that in a logical way that should be right yes. But in the case of emotional way, this was the right way

[Cyborg]

Of course it was right if you think emotional.

But then if we did think emotional when talking about this, we would have had nothing to talk about. No one would really had kept that alive...

[Apollyon]

All emotions are entirely logical. There is no way to look at it than logically.

[Terror]

blah blah blah, yadda yaddaaa.. ah so you think i'm right... now that's good. Follow the dutch, and you might actually survive the coup. ;)
