    Re: Very interesting and more new ones! *Graphic pics*

    Yes, I knew it may offend some people. But I think it was important I post them here so we can all learn from the tragic story and their deaths will have meant something.

    If these offend anyone. I did warn you in the title.

    I hate it when people say pictures will offend others. I think the proper term should be disgust. x.x

    I actually hate it when people are offended by pictures. But being disgusted is okay, in my opinion.

    Personally, I was more offended and disgusted by what had been done to this snake, than I was the the pictures. Whilst graphic, I believe them to be interesting and useful to us. I'm glad Amanda posted them.

    Amanda, what a heartbreaking and probably all too common story. I'm so glad you're getting the two babies and that they'll be with someone who truly cares for them.

    I found the pics fascinating, and very, very educational.

    You hate that *I* said it might offend people? Well. I don't think people should let it offend them. But some people do.
    People who would complain about these pictures being posted are usually more then grossed out.

    Personally. These pictures didn't offend or disgust me. As James said, I am offended and disgusted at what was done to the snake in the first place.

    Amanda, it is terrible about how un-informed people treat snakes. I'm glad you are taking the survisors and know they will get the best of care. Good luck and thank you for sharing this with us.

    Lulu, great names. I love them; very appropriate.

    Yes, the pictures were graphic and I took no offense. I am offended by the stupid.

    I've had just a crappy week. And I'm sitting here crying over someone I'll never know but hate and the pain s/he caused nature, sweet creatures and me.

    You know, I never knew when I came here it would be more than 'fun and games' with "pet" snakes. I hate the reality I'm learning, but yet am also thankful for it because I'm learning that - even as a recent devote - I've a place and a calling. Life to me, in all forms, is so damn precious.

    why can't stupids learn?
