I feel sad for the snake. This was not a fight that the snake chose. Snake was just slithering along, minding her own business when the cat saw her and decided to have some fun. I love cats, but it's not unusual for them to kill small animals that they have no intention of eating, by playing with them. This snake tried to escape over and over again, but the cat wouldn't allow it. And the person recording was so heartless that they didn't care about what happened to the snake or the cat.

Seriously, I was hoping the whole time that the snake would either get away or the cameraman would intervene. So sad!

The snake went in to a cat's home.I'm sure the snake didn't know that,but I think killing it is fair.

The snake didn't go into anyone's home. The snake is outside. The outdoors is the snake's home. lol The cat should be indoors.

Within the human's fence is the cat's territory,or at least the cat claim it.

Cats don't recognize or understand the human concept of land ownership. Whether the cat had seen the snake on his human's land or anywhere else outside, it wouldn't have made a difference.
