| Baby's bizarre 'bite' of passage with cobra |
| 2007-05-09 |
With Video and Photos. The animal rights activists have protested the mistreatment of the snake; but what about the baby; no protests. Some people just shouldn't have children. A one-year-old is forced to fight a neutered cobra during a shocking snake-charming rite of passage in India. The baby tries to protect itslef while being repeatedly hit by the animal, which has also had its mouth stitched up and its fangs removed. This bizarre spectator sport - reportedly from Kasimkota in Andhra Pradesh - has been condemned by animal rights protesters after footage appeared on the internet. They've warned that a cobra's fangs grow back quickly, putting the youngsters in mortal danger. Several snake charmers die each year while handling the animals. |

| #1 The Tsarevich is crawling around on his tummy just like the little baby in the video. I can't believe someone would be that stupid or depraved enough to let a tiny little one "play" with a freakin' cobra! WTF are his or her parents thinking??? |
