Here is a set of photos showing an killed pregnant Anaconda! The question here is, why was it killed in the first place? Actually, there could be many answers for it. It might have been causing problems in the region. However, some people might find this wrong, they believe that Anacondas should not be killed at all. Tell us your opinion in the comment section.
Don’t count them, there are 70 little Anacondas!
The anaconda’s Latin name derives from the Greek word that means ‘good swimmer.’ Anacondas are ambush hunters who use water as camouflage. (Their marking sort of indicates this.) An anaconda is not going to just sneak into somebody’s house and eat their children. Not unless they live in a ravine.
I trust that from now on people will base their arguments on actual scientific information as opposed to unscientific whims. Iwould be very interested in continuing this debate if anyone is interested. ;)
Do not sit in front of your computer making value judgements about people who live in and under much different circumstances than yourself.
Humans on the other hand, do nothing to improve the planet.
While it may be a large ?? litter?? of serpents, the likelihood that they all survive is particularly limited to the two legged predators as well I’ll bet.
By the way, Molly, how many folks do you suppose live around snakes llike that one that get to do a lot of reporting? I’d don’t think theres any man eating snake epidemic, however, there is a great chance of losing a kid the size of te poser to a snake anywhere near that size if the opportunity arose. I’d be more interested to hear from those who deal with the behemeth snakes on a day to day basis and not for a livelihood (herpitoligist). The affects of being in the same procemity to them would be enlilghtening to hear first hand.
im not here to fight, i will not stand for people who mock the suffering of animals because they are “inferrior” beings, animals feel the same emotions as humans, but their emotions are pure and untainted… those who say they dont really understand what is happening to them need a reality check! this mother would have ensured that her young were ina safe place, and that means as far away from humans as she could get them, she might not have had anything to do with them after their birth (birth being used as they hatch inside their mothers and are then “born” probably as a way to further protect them.), but she will do her best to see them as safely into this world as possible.
these villagers remember stories of children and livestock being taken by anacondas and dont want the same for their own, so they are taught from a young age to fear and hate these giant snakes, this fear breeds ignorance, and the hate becomes indifference. while im sure this snake commited no such crime she was still a threat to the livelyhood of the village, they neutralized this threat in the way they have been taught for probably centuries. this snake had no chance of survival unless she had left, but this was the territory she had fought to possess and keep, its not likely that she would have left for anyother reason than drought or famine… animals are like that, they know what is theirs and will fight even humans to keep it, we are stupid, we have no rights to these places that we are slowly stealing away from these magnificent beings. we could learn alot from them if we only just tried, but we are ignorant, we believe that because we were created in God’s image that we should decide the fate of the world. i say that God’s only mistake was making us in a way that we could even believe this. the snake knew her place in this world was to hunt and give birth to the toung she was carrying when she died, just like the capibarra know it is their place to be hunted by those like her, they try to escape, but they know that at least one of them will be her meal… but humans, we dont see ourselveshigher beings and as such above the status of prey, we are not, we have muscle which is meat and as such we are fair game to a hungry animal. WE ARE STILL JUST ANIMALS! get that through your heads
killing the pregnant anaconda was wrong but it is all these people know to do to protect their young, get over it this is how the world turns we are evil beings. she did what she was designed to do and they did what we are made to do. thats all i have to say but its food for thought for all of you fighting over her death… just think of all the other little anacondas who will now be able to find enough food to survive…
***none of this is said with an angry intonnation, i state the facts of what i see and believe, if you feel differently please feel free to say so, i will take your words into account and possibly even agree with you on some points. im not here to fight, just to set the record straight.***
But the fact they split the stomach open, lined up all the baby snakesand f–ked about with the snakes body afterwards for the sake of photographs os fairly sickening. To me, anyway.
Also, little kids who swear like that in photographs and think they’re mint make me want to punch them.
Secondly, if you would notice that the head of this girl is looped off…. does any1 know what the means? Well I can tell you. The lopping of the head of the anaconda is a ritual thingy that the people do down there, so this was mostly done by Sport, or the humans, as we like to do, hunt the animal for sport and fun, meaning the they most likly went into the forest to kill the snake, knowing that it was there, not because of fear, terror or in their minds self presitavtion of the human race, but for fun!!!
Next a snake that large and that full of babies would not be doing much but sitting in a tree, hole, or anywhere else for quite some time, during this time they would not eat. They would be slow, tired , but if provoke defend so taken advantage ?
You are, as stated more likely to get eaten by a shark, or bear ,or mauled by your neighbors dog than a snake no matter the size would attack a human, and eat it!!!! SNAKES DON’T DO THAT!!!!
Nautrally thier have been cases, but look it up “how many people die from getting eaten by a snake each year?” Answear………… you find it!!!! Sorry getting a little frizzled here. One more thing to talk about, Read DannyD message “that snake would be naturally be hunting boy/dog sized “rodents,— yes a snake wouldn’t go after a rat, but it would go after a, jaguar, crocadile, or the world’s largest rodent a capybara and even a tapir before it would even consider going to a boy/dog, so in a since it would be helping the people. I’ve also agreed on some point the bubbles make, exspecial the part that we are all animals. We think we are strong because we are human, but think if their was something greater than us!!
Man no more room….oh well u get what i mean….morns a mother and her 70 babies…………..Markus P. Landsin 3/26/09
I’m not here to oppose anyone’s opinions. Personally I respect everyones ideas and I carefully read everyone’s comments. This is just my opinion, so please respect it like I respected yours.
First of all, I appreciate the villagers. We know, how the snakes (like Anaconda and cobra) are dangerous to mankind. We may not harm them, but, unfortunately they may harm us. Having Anaconda around us, become threat to human and animal lives. Survival becomes difficult. Keeping this in mind, there is nothing wrong, if at all the villagers kills that anaconda.
Anacondas are the rare creatures and its the responsibility of we all human beings to save such rare creatures. Let the villagers who killed the snake know about this lession
But that doesnt mean we should just kill the people because of it.
So think what you say before you say it.
The anacondas or man? ANACONDAS
Who has the right to live their? I say whoever was there FIRST. Man kind can go to hell for all I care.
I say let the pathetic humans die.
More people have died by dogs than by anacondas you stupid fucking people. Trust me I breed large constrictors. We should be protecting this planet but instead we rape it and destroy it.
Who said humans are better than any other life on earth? WE ARE NOT.
All life was created equal and all life is equal. Without these other so-called “inferior” life forms on earth we could not survive.
But without us they will flourish.
Humans are a plague to this planet and if I could I would wipe you all out.
jordan
What country has it happend ?I’m from sri lanka we do not kill animals
I believe that they are in the wild for a reason and they could of just captured it and left it in the wild.
I mean if People see a Wild Monkey its not killed but rather ignored and i think it is onlt fair that snakes are left alone.
If its in a area it should not be in the remove it and release it in the area where it will be comfortable in.
come on 70 little snakes? they grow big too!!
70 large snakes can eat all the people there..
gosh, don’t care about the snake!
it isn’t sad, snake’s aren’t nice animals..
there more like monsters who just wanna eat.
but i think that will be more sad,if we saw from the picture is not those snake that killed by human, but children that killed by the snake ..
70 babies of anaconda ?? that was “wow”

basically the human brain and how it works. And these villagers have learned to perceive these snakes as a threat to their village. Their natural reaction would be to eliminate that threat for their survival. Although it may not kill a villager, it will kill livestock, and to save their livestock, they killed it. A perfectly sensible human reaction. I fully agree with what they did
because its worst been killed by a snake than
kill her… >/
and is it came to our home and gng to kill us? NO… abouslutely NO!! bcz we are the one who are gng to there palce and killing them, as the worlds population is gng on increaseing day by day we are cutting out the forest region and getting there places also for our living… and killing them only for our secrity reasons without any kindness… but those snakes(ANY ANIMAL) they dnt have more smart & evil minds as we have because they are unable to kill us and make them leave safely and happily that to without any pollution/damage to the nature as we are doing it.
Lions kill other Lions cubs to protect their own dominance (Source : Animal Planet). Dont you think its for security reasons.
HUMAN HUNT ANIMAL –> ANIMAL RIGHTS –> JAIL . ANIMAL HUNT HUMAN –> NATURE RULE
HUMAN KILL ANIMAL –> NO JAIL (FOR PROTECTION) . ANIMAL KILL HUMAN –> NATURE RULE
it’s simple. we are not snake haters. but when snake came into our territory and became dangerous we have no choice. for protection we must kill them. that’s all. we do not hunt them!
otherwise these snakes will become extinct like other creatures in the past, you have
to remember these snakes have lived their for years and its the villagers who don’t
belong there. we should be protecting the giant snakes instead of killing them and
especially a pregnant one , someone should talk to those people about wildlife
preservation educate them and teach them to respect the snakes instead of killing them
i found the pics very disturbing.
for all you people out there who have kids and for all others who have sisters and brothers,all i’ve gotta say is that you would have done the same thing as these villagers!!!you would have killed it then and there!!!
you know it!every1′s just chicken to admit it!!!
