A REPORT of a woman in Granada feeding her pet snake live kittens and puppies has sparked a police investigation.
The Loja resident allegedly posted an image of her pet python crushing a puppy to death (right), which was reported to Seprona, the animal protection unit of the Guardia Civil.
The woman posted an advert to sell the snake and a worker at an animal shelter posed as a prospective buyer, who admitted to regularly feeding the serpent live kittens, puppies and sometimes birds.
The royal python is the smallest of its species found in sub-saharan Africa which is known to crush its prey to death.
The snake keeper is either a sadist or her brain never developed beyond what the snake itself has, i.e., the primitive reptilian brain.
So delicately put. Couldn’t have worded it better.
Just the tip of the iceberg of so many cases of cruelty to animals.
