Venomoid Atrocity at Hamburg |
|||
Editor's Note: This is an email that Hank Molt sent out after his observations at the Hamburg Venomous Reptile Show in Pennsylvania. Venomoid refers to an operation performed on venomous snakes in which a portion of the venom duct is surgically removed to render the snake "harmless." This is a controversial surgery that usually does more harm than good. Proponents FOR this operation feel that this is a way for them to safely handle venomous species. Proponents AGAINST this procedure feel that this puts undue hardships on the snakes (is a form of cruelty to the animals), that often results in severe deformities and death. Also, some people "free-handle" venomoid snakes just like they would a corn snake and this may give the unaware a "bad impression" or a false sense of security on how cautious one should be when handling venomous snake. | |||
I visited the Hamburg Reptile Show on
Saturday 24 April [2004] and as expected the Venomoid Butchers were out in
full force with all of their mutilated reptiles on display.
Just to let you know how outrageous their dealings are, I found this dead venomoid Albino Monacled Cobra ( see photos below ) in a trash can behind one of the vendor's tables. If you look closely at the head in front of the thumb you will see the crude scar left by the butcher who did this grotesque procedure. The snake had a lot of fluid in it’s throat and neck and obviously had an infection as a result of this barbaric procedure which caused it’s death. The scum bag venomoid crude ball just tossed this snake in the trash. A perfectly good Albino Monacled Cobra destroyed by one of these disgusting venomoid sphincters. Oh yeah, and one of the little scum bags ( they do not reveal their real names ) called out to me to complain about my campaign against him, saying that I was threatening him. It was hilarious: all the real venomous guys were standing with me. I simply told him that he and his lackeys were not welcome at Daytona and that I will do all in my power to make life as miserable for them as legally possible. We hear about venomoids, we see the ads but just look at the destroyed reptile in the photos to get a sense of the real tragedy of “venomoids” If we continue to make a concerted effort we should be able to rid these scum bags from our midst and force them to have their own shows, ads and forums. I am declaring war on them. Let me know what you think. Hank Molt 30 April 2004 21:18:45
