"This is animal abuse to the highest degree and absolutely disgusting, and could kill the snake..."

"... an adult green anaconda cannot fit the width of an adult man's shoulders into its body."
"Regurgitating a meal is stressful to a snake’s internal system... Not only is the snake not receiving the nutrients from his food, but the regurgitation process also robs the snake of essential digestive acids from his stomach."
ADDED: I wonder if that anaconda considers itself "in the entertainment business"?

Snake love is an act. The snake in question has spent its existence swallowing whole the cute little critters.

All I can say is.. boo hoo hoo for the snake.

Down here in Texas we kill the dangerious critters, especially those that can kill kids, and this snake can kill 'em.

It had to happen someday.

I agree with PETA on this one.

Hollywood actor or a snake? I know who I'm rooting for.

It's in the eating business.

The Roman Colosseum comes to mind. After the man eating snake show, what will the afternoon show be? Elephants trampling snakes?

Wait for the alligator act.

Maybe the snake was sent from God.

A Jonah in the whale thing.

That's where allegory comes from, the alligator sent from God.

Maybe they'll both cack. That way everybody wins and it's good television.

I am very upset with the Discovery Channel because now I too must agree with something PETA said.

Especially the "this fool" part.

Do you toy with them and make them do tricks for you and entertain you before you kill them?

Shouldn't it be reptile rights activists speaking out? PETA has mission creep.

It matters not whether the snake considers itself "in the entertainment business." He is now.

Once, about ten years ago, I saw a poster at a Burger King for their new burger. At the top, it read, "As seen on NBC's 'The Apprentice."

"Oh, great," I said. "There's a sandwich that has a better TV credit than me."

I have since acquired two credits better than the burger. And now I hafta keep ahead of a reptile.

Ironic, in the sense that typically the snake is the agent at William Morris.

Snakeskin Cowboys

Ooh, snakeskin cowboys
Who the hell you think you are
You're dancin' around with your high-heeled boots
Don't think that should get you far
Just hangin' around with your fancy pants on
Aint got nothin' on me
Thinking you got it right here on the stage
Stick around boys, maybe I can set you free

Ann, you've been to Austin. You know better than that.

Depends on the residuals.... has anyone seen a copy of the snake's contract?
