That's pretty cool, but I think the mogoose vs. cobra video is better.

It's always cool to watch a mongoose take out a cobra. Speed kills, literally!

But its easier to get a dog than a Mongoose or Jaguar! In some area's a dog that will kill snakes or Rat's is valued! I have lived in area's where I would have loved to had a Snake killing dog.

Lame. I hope the kid gets bitten and someone films it and puts it up on youtube. Another Jeffrey Dahlmer in the making.

My favorite is still Jaguar vs. Anaconda:

That was pretty cool. I'd guess that anaconda didn't want any of that jaguar because id didn't fight back much, just kept trying to get away. I wanted to see it turn around and sink those hooking teeth into the jaguar, then we'd see what that jaguar's made of!

You're not one of those people who thinks that the life of an animal is equal to the life of a human are you? Otherwise why wish harm upon a 9-year-old kid? It's just a snake and it's not like the kid was ripping it apart with his bare hands.

I'm a person who values life, even the life of a snake. I'm not a sadistic bstard like (EDIT: some /edit) others on here.

How about if someone filmed a video of an animal attacking, killing and gutting your dog, or say the pet of your young daughter if you had one, would you be as gung-ho for that? After all, it's only a dog.

Edit: Do you approve of dog fighting? If not, why not?

Well, if it's a pet then clearly i've formed an emotional tie to it, so No, I wouldn't be gung-ho for it. If it were a dangerous wild dog that could harm me or my family, then no, I wouldn't be upset to see it killed.

I'm sure that if the snake being killed was Chuck boa, then the reaction would be very different. Instead, it was a snake which could have easily bitten a child in the underbrush.

It's disingenuous, Buzz, to try & compare wild to tame.

As for dog fighting, I'm against it, but that's mainly a cultural thing. By that I mean that I've never really examined my motivations for that position, it's just something that I've been raised to think. If you were to push me to make a case off the top of my head, I would probably reference Genesis & God's call for us to be stewards of the earth. There's no need for dogs to fight, so to force them to do so would irresponsible.

Like I said, I haven't thought about it, & that's just a knee-jerk reaction.
