I really don't like snakes...

but why oh why would this parent take this child to a reptile show????

...a boy who told the man he hated snakes stomped and killed the man's 10-foot-long python....

"The next thing I know ... the kid raises his leg and stomps down on the snake's head," Braunstein said. "The snake started convulsing."

Braunstein said he saw a man grab the child and say, "This is why I don't take you anywhere," before disappearing.

What the kid did was horrible. What the parent did was STUPID.

I hate snakes, but don't think that this domesticated one deserved to be stomped to death!

OMG! That is so horrible- I cannot believe that the paent would just allow that to happen and then leave like that. The poor owner, to lose one of his babies like that.
