    Boy kills 10ft python at Church festival


    Boy kills snake at petting zoo

    Published: Aug. 24, 2007 at 12:56 AM
    CINCINNATI, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- A 10-year-old boy who said he hated snakes killed a 10-foot python at petting zoo by stomping on the reptile's head.

    Scott Braunstein, a reptile handler who brought the snake to the St. Bernadette Festival in Amelia, Ohio, last weekend, said he was shocked by the boy's violence, The Cincinnati Enquirer said Thursday.

    The snake, named Popcorn, was a non-poisonous albino Burmese python.

    Braunstein, who operates House of Reptiles in Dry Ridge, Ky., said the boy approached him and told him that he hated snakes. The child then raised his leg and stomped down on the snake's head, Braunstein said.

    A man believed to be the boy's father grabbed the child and said, "This is why I don't take you anywhere," before disappearing into the crowd, the newspaper said.

    "I've never, never had anything like that happen," Braunstein told the newspaper

    That little brat's father was an idiot IMO, he ran instead of facing the consequences and is teaching his little future serial killer son to run from responsibility.


    I read another report on this, Scott, Popcorn's owner, said the kid actually laughed after he stomped on the snake
