On November 9, 2016. The Villagers of Ogbia community Killed a GIGANTIC Snake They Thought Had Eaten Livestock.

Locals who killed a huge snake after suspecting it of having eaten a calf because of its swollen stomach discovered it was pregnant with dozens of eggs.

The incident happened in Nigeria where local media said the snake had been killed over accusations it had been feasting on farmers’ livestock.

However as these images show, the snake was not overweight because of its last meal, it was actually pregnant with many eggs

The villagers killed the snake and cut it open to find dozens of eggs

The Villagers in the West African country consider snakes' eggs a delicacy

This is the worst case of human cruelty to animals I have heard of, they should have hire snake catcher to help them take the this massive creation to snake zoo, instead they killed and feast on the innocent animal. 

This is terrible!

Stop Killing Snakes!

Were you taught that “The only good snake is a dead snake?” Well, you’re not alone. I understand that many people were brought up to think that killing snakes is a good idea.

 I am here to tell you that what you were taught is wrong. Not just wrong sometimes, but flat-out, all-the-way, every day of the week and twice on Sunday WRONG.

If you see a snake in your yard, that is a good thing.

Snakes are, by and large, nature’s “pest control technicians.” Don’t get me wrong, every native species has its place, but if you don’t want mice in your house, slugs in your garden, gophers tearing up your lawn, rats in your barn, and more: stop killing the members of the ecosystem that are taking care of those critters for you.

Snakes do not destroy your lawn or home

— they eat the critters that do. For example, ratsnakes got their names from being such great rodent predators. Mice and rats are a leading cause of house fires. The ones that infest homes are invasive species and are vectors for several diseases and parasites.

Every home should be lucky enough to have a ratsnake around! While they do sometimes get onto or into homes, there’s nothing to fear. They are not trying to hurt you and can be easily removed.

(Read The Snake on Your House Isn’t Trying to Hurt You for more on this.)

Killing a snake is just pointless cruelty.

Killing one snake does not make you any safer than taking one car off the road makes driving safer. Many people justify killing snakes by saying it was for the safety of their kids or pets, but this is purely a rationalization. Children learn by example. We should be teaching them respect for all living things.

If they see you respect the animal and leave it alone, they are more likely to do so. If they see you try to kill it, then that is what they will imitate.

A child trying to kill a snake is more likely to get bitten than the child that leaves snakes alone, so you are teaching them dangerous habits if your example is to kill snakes.

Killing native animals for the perceived safety of nonnative animals (your pets) is a very ecologically-unsound practice. Wildlife was here first.

It is us who have invaded their space, and it is, therefore, our responsibility to learn to live peaceably with them.
