Should have been FL. There’s a couple of baws, Wal Mart, a GDCK and Fire.

quote:

Two North Carolina men were charged with animal cruelty after they allegedly set a snake on fire in a Walmart parking lot.

Garen Whittington, 22, of Jacksonville and Dustin Shearin, 17, of Trenton, were both charged Wednesday after videos of the incident were investigated by the Onslow County Animal Services. The two men then allegedly partially ran over the snake before dousing it with engine fluid and setting it on fire until it died, the news station reported.

The men reportedly found the snake curled up under a parked car in the parking lot.

Pre-Germans notice. I don’t see how this couldn’t have made the OT yesterday when it happened but I searched diligently using the terms North Carolina, Wal Mart, Snake, Fire and TD search function sucks with zero relevant results.

Snakes are badass.

These guys should be locked up for years, IMO

This is not animal cruelty. It’s called killing a snake. Perhaps a bit over the top—never mind it was just right.

Imagine the dense intellectual content of their discussions leading up to "the incident" -

I mean, it was a fricking snake. What were they supposed to do with it, dance the merengue?

This is my favorite part. Trying to make us feel bad for a snake.

Snakes shouldn’t be considered animals unless you’re a bored sjw without a real job

Next they’ll get us for swatting a mosquito.

They came for the guys burning snakes in a Walmart parking lot and I did nothing.

I mean, I guess it could be a little sadistic, but these guys probably aren’t the brightest and just used what they had.

And it’s a fricking snake. frick snakes.

Killing a snake it chopping its head off. Cruelty is making it suffer before death. There's a reason its illegal. I'm glad you 'necks aren't in charge.

Aren't snakes still alive for a few minutes after their head is lopped off? Sounds like cruelty to me.

The videos of the incident, which occurred on May 16, allegedly show the men striking a brown water snake multiple times “on or around the head” in the parking lot in Richlands, N.C., according to WITN.


Brown water snake... didn't do nothing to them.
