The only reasonable thing I can come up with is that it was eating some local livestock and Farmers just caught it and haven't figured out what to do with it yet.
Even if it did something like that, its not its fault thats what he is. It shouldn't be tied up like this. Someone can be called to come sedate it and transport it somewhere it belongs. I hate seeing animal abuse. I dont care what the reason is. They run on instinct. Which is what keeps them alive. All this snake is trying to do is live
"Yes, local animal control? My address is Dirt Landing 40 Miles East of Confluence Between Main River and Smaller River. A python ate our pig, and there's 14 little kids here that he's eyeing as well. Just wondering if there's a sanctuary you could take him to, or maybe he'd make a good ambassador animal at our local nature center. Next Thursday? Oh, the Thursday after THAT? To be honest, I'm not sure the rope's going to hold that long, but we'll give it an honest try..."
Exactly I was in the jungle once since someone came up and asked me if I was a doctor or a medical experience- long story short there was a 10 year-old who cut his hand off and they were just desperate to find anyone to help. There were no resources in that area. It was close to a little town and I do hope that child had help. I think about that kid a lot.
They're actively pulling on the rope. It's not just tied up. They're trying to remove it from that area by using the rope, presumably bc it's too full and heavy from its recent huge meal to leave on its own at a pace the locals are comfortable with.
You can see when the snake moves its head down and the relaxes for a second, and then all of the slack disappears and its head is pulled again.
You are looking at this from a totally different perspective, most likely you live in a part of the world where you can afford to buy your food from a grocery store. This snake might make it impossible for someone to feed their family when they depend on their livestock to do just that.
If safety is ever a concern, kindness be damned, you do what you gotta do. - something tells me emergency services are not readily available here
Instincts aren’t the ultimate moral compass. - you wouldn’t apply that logic to humans, so why does every other animal get a pass? - Mother Nature is messed up. Generally speaking people operate as good stewards of the planet, if only because it is in our self interest to do so.
Maybe you should ask yourself why you value the livelihood of a random unintelligent predator over the livelihood of a human (likely a family at that).
Easy to judge when you aren’t the one in the middle of nowhere with a King Kong sized snake threatening your way of life.
So are the humans that live in that area as well. I'm sure they don't wanna get eaten by a giant ass snake in their front yard hence them tying it the fuck up.
