Should’ve used Go.
Police and animal control officers used a crowbar to hit the snake on the head until it released its grip and slithered away before it could be captured.
I love the imagery this produces.
I cannot imagine not simply sawing its head off.
“Please let go! whack Stop it! whack Serious! whack”
Did no one have a 2" pocket knife? Not even a box cutter?!
Maybe they were worried it would actually crush her if they tried that.
In it’s death throes? I had never considered that.
Yeah. I don’t know enough about snakes to say, but I wonder.
fuh…huh…huh…huh…huck that…
Put a bit of rubbing alcohol/hand sanitizer on their snoot and they will back right off.
Yeah, the crowbar method did not seem thought out at all. I’ve handled a few snakes, the largest a friendly olive python, but you can feel that it will crush and kill you so fast if it wants. Should be escaping a snake like that by making it uncomfortable and wanting to leave, not whack it.
They must happen fairly often, since I’ve read of two women being killed, and this one invited 6, just in the last few months.
