An American man was found dead among 124 venomous snakes in his home
A man has
been found dead in his home in the United States with dozens of snakes, most of
them venomous.
Maryland
(News Update) In the US state of Maryland, a citizen reported to the police
about a man lying on the floor of their house.
When
police officers entered the house, they found 124 snakes, including dragons,
cobras and snakes. Many of these snakes were poisonous. Although the snakes
were in the tanks, snake experts were called in.
An
unidentified 45-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of
death has not yet been determined, but police says there is no evidence of
suspicion.
With
the help of experts from the nearby Charles County Animal Control Center in
North Carolina and Virginia, arrangements are being made to relocate and
resettle the snakes. It is unlawful to keep venomous snakes in Maryland.
A
spokesman for the center told the source that "all snakes have been kept with
organizations outside the state with proper authority, permits and
licenses." He added that some snakes would likely be privately adopted by
approved handlers.
Treatment
of Addictive Snake
When
police in Australia raided a drug lab last year, they were hoping for drug
machines and large sums of cash. But the results of the laboratory search were
very different.
Seeing
the six-foot-tall wild dragon, they realized that the snake was clearly
addicted to drugs. It was as if he had used drugs on his skin and through his
respiratory tract.
Seven
months later, the "extremely aggressive" dragon is now showing normal
symptoms. Under a wildlife care program, 14 inmates cared for the snake.
A
relatively low-security prison in Sydney is running a 250-animal care program. A
wide variety of animals are cared for, including kangaroos and other birds.
Police
officials say some criminals keep venomous snakes to protect their weapons and
drug stockpiles. The wild dragon has not yet been named for legal reasons. Once
the case of the alleged drug dealers is settled, the dragon will be sent to its
new owner.
Prison
Governor Evan Calder said the prison's wildlife program has been running for
the past 20 years, which also helps rehabilitate inmates. "We're
attempting to perceive how they treat creatures and how living with them mellow
them and stirs humankind".
