The guy who died from "the monitor bite" actually died from a heart attack. He was locked in his house, for days, with free roaming monitors and they took the opprotunity to feed off him...just like any pet cat or dog would do, in the same situation.
The woman with the Monocled Cobra did not have it free roaming, in her house. She was in the process of moving and was packing her animals up. During packing them up, she was bitten. I'm not condoning her actions, as she was keeping venomous illegally, therefore it was her own fault. If the hospital would've been aware of the circumstances and knew what had bitten her, she could've been successfully been treated with anti-venom and most likely, would've survived.
The people with the big cats...well, I don't have much to say about that. If I had the room and the financial means to keep them, I'd have them too. I'm the type of person that understands the consequences though and realizes there's a very significant chance that I could be killed.
F Animal Planet. I joined a group, boycotting them.
It's only about scare tactics and media propaganda.
