hello guys and girls i aint been on in a while but i would like to share an experience i had with you.
me and my girlfriend robyn went to tenerife for a holiday in the sun, the holiday was brilliant we had a fab time and i will have to say i got a briliant shot of some dolphins, doing a show at loro park. i will share once i get the pics off my girlfriend.
back to the subject in th hotel they had some little shows on of a night, and 1 what paticulaly caught my eye was a reptile show. so i dragged my gf alone, and at 1st he pulled a lizard out he was showing it around to the kids and i saw him stick it into this mans crotch and i was thinkin it was a bit naught on the animal ( hea also done it to me thinkin id scream) and then he got out a royal python he was throwing it round, wasnt realy being gentle. and then he shows it round to the kis and on 1 paticular kid he put it round his neck and pulled it as if to strangle the kid, as you can imagin i wasnt realy impressed, and my girlfriend doesnt realy like snakes( im working on it :) ) and she didnt see the funny side of it.
anyway he got a few more animals out and the big finaly was a albino burmese it was pretty big and hes throwing it around and i noticed he had hold of his head pretty tight and when he brought it over for a close up i realised why, the snake was onli half way through a shed skin was hanging off him everywhere and he was throwing it around and pretending to bite peaople with it.
And as a snake lover i wasnt impressed and god forbid if the snake ever attacks a kid because of being miss treated it his own fault but in countries like that they dont give a flyin toss aslong as there making money. |

Did you not say something to him?
I don't think I could have kept calm in that situation.
How a man makes a living, makes no real difference to me.
Apart from when it involves mis treating innocent animals. |
When on the Forums, always be nice, stick to the rules and help when you can.

I'd have gone and spoken to the hotel management, advise them they are paying for a cruelty act. Its difficult with different countries viewing animals in different ways but if you'd have spoken to the management they might have taken it on board that the way the animals were been treated is cruel and more importantly from the managements POV is extremely dangerous, a shedding burm is a loaded gun and annoying a royal on a kids shoulders is just asking for trouble
