pyton döda 2 barn i kanada.

True,  the story is wierd in everyway.

Precis som vissa har skrivit så låter det mer troligt att barnens död orsakades av en människa snarare än en orm. Måste även medge att det var ett mycket intressant tillfälle som detta hände då det ger mer "fuel to the fire" till The Lacey Act (trots att det hände i Kanada och inte i USA). Slump? Kanske, kanske inte.

Vad dom än skriver i tidningarna så kommer jag inte ändra min uppfattning om pytonormar eftersom jag har uppenbarligen mer erfarenhet än folk i allmänhet. Dock viktigt att ta upp detta. Ingen människa ska behöva dö så tidigt in i livet.

I Alberta får man inte ha någon av dessa ormar.

hmmmmm

Toronto ligger i delstaten Ontario, frågan är om samma arter är förbjudna där.

Hur som helst, är de beslagtagna så är det ju någon form av brott som begått och det framgår ju av artikeln att Pytonormar är olagliga där.

Python hamburgercus fetticus är dock tillåten =)

om man kan lita på det här så var det ju kungspyton och då var ju inte arten i sig olaglig...

Hur ofta dödar ormar byte utan att bita först??
