I am astounded in 2018 we are still allowing this abuse like last night for out titillation

People have set ideas about snakes and this program probably won't make any difference to their views even when 95% of all the snakes used in the show totally ignore the contestants ... last night highlight the two tiny hatchlings which are hot-wired to be feisty and strike at anything coming from above .

I went to a petting zoo a few months ago and one of the handlers was walking around with a gentle 6' Burmese python wrapped around his torso.... anyways the children and adults were allowed to touch the snake gently ... so many said " ooooww it's slimey " which it most certainly wasn't ...
