DEADLY RESULTS FROM PEOPLE'S LACK OF CONSIDERATION OF SUBSEQUENT RESULTS

Lots of people want pets.  Usually they are cats, doge, birds and fish.  Actually, lots of these are unaware of the pets' needs.  Those who live in small places are often apt to have dogs who are huge and need to run with very loud barks.  The worst of them remove the animals voice box rather than finding a suitable home for the dog.  This seems unbelievably cruel to me as I once had neighbors who had done that to their dog who would be chained onto a snow pile not more than fifteen feet from my bed, leaving him to hoarsely honk as he was as far from their house as they could put him.

When people want snakes for pets, the corn snake is a popular one.  It is not poisonous and only threatens the household with salmonella if anyone pets it without washing carefully.  That threat of salmonella from any of the reptiles.  To read more on this, click here. and scroll down to read the abstract.

Just as parents have bought little chicks for their children at Easter, forgetting that they grow up to be roosters or hens and don't live in houses or city apartments, people don't realize that those baby exotic animals grow up to be huge predators.

Burmese Pythons, let out in the Everglades, are now responsible for the low number of mammals found there.  I wonder if the person who let one of them out was prepared to one day read that one swallowed an alligator who may have scratched the wall of his stomach and blew a hole in its side.  The fact that the python's head was missing may account for the alligator biting it off on its way to being swallowed..For the whole story, click here.
