    Default Why ?

    To me this is child abuse and animal abuse.

    Did NO one notice in this video that the cobra's mouth is sewn shut?

    Animal abuse.

    The baby can get up and walk away (or crawl away) at least.

    Maybe based on cultural ritual?

    Supposedly it is as this video has been posted in alot of places and more than a few people have pointed out that it is a custom/ritual ... and the cobra's mouth is sewn shut.

    Ugh, that's just wrong. And did anyone else hear laughing in the background, toward the end?

    seeing the cobra with it's mouth sewn shut made me want to vomit...i'm the first to admit that cobras are easily one of my least favourite animals, but still *shudder*

    Multiculturalism. Remember we embrace, not judge other cultures.

    I am told Snake charmers catch a cobra, sew its mouth shut without any consideration for the pain the cobra goes through or rips out their venom glands and fangs and do the shows they do. If the snake dies it is no big deal to them since they can get another easily or very cheap. This sewing activity and worse go on right here
    in the United States all summer long at “Rattle Snake Roundups”

    As for this baby I would assume that the cobras mouth IS sewn shut or the kid would have flinched from pain from the bite even without venom.

    Ya, this is just sick.

    Hugs and Hissessss,

    Sorry no. When it comes to abuse...no embracing...fighting against. Stuff like this, female genital mutilation, genocide.....does not get a "get out of jail free" card because it falls under the label of "tradition".
    Remember...at one time, slavery was "tradition" too...still is in some places

    Well, hey, I mean if you're not particularly attached to the kid, why not? LOL.

    I'm all about embracing other cultures, learning their traditions, etc., but some things are not ok.

    I think armysgt was being slightly sarcastic.
