*blinks* I wonder why everybody's trying to understand why this is being done...
Also yeah, everybody notice Sgt's find. If luck is with you guys, this was posted up recently, got all the "nutjobs" voting for it, and then slowly dies down, then it's just some out-of-rage stupidness.
----------------
Hopefully whomever sees this with SENSE will see this petition as a hate-speech.

That is exactly how I see it, as hate speech, intended to turn citizens against not the animals so much as their owners, to convince the public and the politicians that we snake owners are dangerous physopaths who derive sexual satisfaction from watching another living thing suffer, and to imply that if we get off watching our snakes kill cats, dogs and bunnies, we almost certainly won't hesitate to feed a child to one for the same reasons. It accuses us of being thieves, of stealing property(pets)to feed to our animals, thus it is no big leap of logic to assume that we probably kidnap children, too. These types of accusations are no different than Hitler accusing the Jews of destroying Germany's economy, or of the KKK accusing Blacks of wanting to rape all White women. It's inflammatory speech intended to incite hatred and violence against a particular group of people. pitbulllady |

If most of the signers don't live in the US, exactly how do they count again?  |

True. Then again, I doubt the politicians (and President Obama, who, interestingly, is the primary target of this propaganda, even despite he's the LAST obstacle to worry about) will even bother looking at the origins of these people.  |

Okay, here's the crazy thing about that vid they posted up on this next petition, the owner of the original vid is actually a snake owner and even has in his comment for the vid the following
"WHY DID YOU SEARCH THIS and THEN LEAVE BAD COMMENTS. GROW UP PEOPLE!!! PLease understand that this is life. This is how this snake has to eat (SHE DOES NOT EAT FROZEN PREY. DO NOT COMMENT IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE LIFE CYCLE.... RETARDS! Check out a slaughter house vid on youtube before you bite into that steak dinner. Albino Burmese Python eating a Rabbit -- BEWARE very violent--- I WARNED U... PU_SSY!!!!"
Whomever the person who posted up this petition is using someone's vid WITHOUT permission which explains why they have stated for people NOT to report the video! Dude, if you're going to use SOMEBODY ELSE'S vid, freaking ask first!!

Well, I flagged the video, and I PM'd the submitter explaining why I reported it. Hope this makes some extremists miserable, for once.  |

That petition it just as ridiculous.
Oh, look at the poor bunny. Boohoo! Ban snakes!
Really? My cat kills rabbits. My old cat, before he died, would kill baby rabbits about every day. It was very useful, as rabbit are getting overpopulated around here and eating everyone gardens. I've found dead bunnies bitten in half (particular cat bit everything in half and left the other half for me. It was kind of funny. When he saw I had no interest in it, he would eat the rest of it) on my porch. And anyone who's had a cat know that they're no near as civil with their prey as snakes. Yet I see no petitions about banning cats because they kill adorable bunnies and cute mice. It's just life. Some animals eat other animals. It's not like snakes can take up a vegan lifestyle and start eating salads.
But look up any video of snakes eating live food and you'll get at least 3 comments on the first page telling the owner that they're a horrible person and should have their animal put down. It's like WTF?
