Cruelty, BP nailed to pole

I just saw this article on a different forum, and I cant believe this. Animal cruelty is widespread I understand, but someone(s) took the time and effort to physically pin a ball python against a telephone pole and put 6 nails into it.

See the article for yourself.

I'll never understand how (and why) people do these things. Very sad.

I read this months ago when it came out. The little guy pulled through-- and the guy who adopted him named him "Trent" as in Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

Yeah I hear hes pretty comfortable around humans now, they should post updated pictures after his recovery. Yay for not having a long-term memory I suppose.

horrible, I cant believe how some one would to that to a ball? I'll tell ya the only kind of balls that need nailing to a telephone pole is the guy who did this (assuming its a guy because the majority of females would scream if they even saw a snake)

Did you notice, though, that NONE of the comments (as far back as I read them) approved of snake abuse?
