Like the term destroyed. I would have destroyed my pet as well, not 'put to sleep' but destroyed, punch the snake in the snakeface and give it piledrivers until it died.
nah, this is how you destroy a snake:

Most herp experts are pretty sure the snake did not kill these kids. Here is a statement from the Federation Of British Herpatologists on FB.
Quote:
Until further information is available, speculation as to the
circumstances of this tragedy would not be appropriate but most
reptile experts would concur that the scenario as initially presented
is highly improbable. The
Nobody else in the apartment heard a 45kg snake fall through the ceiling in the middle of the night? And it strangled them both at the same time, silently? It seems like there might be more to the story, imo.
Either way, add this to the already huge list of things that I don't need to worry about happening to my kid, but still worry about anyways. Number 5076: Silent escaped python attack in the night.
Very sad story and my condolences to the mother of the deceased boys.
Hard to imagine this was really what happened. If the two boys were sleeping in the same room, how can the second boy didn't hear any sound. The building didn't seem that well constucted so sound proofing can't be too good.

If it fell through the ceiling, I wonder if it fell onto the kids, crushing them with its weight, rather than constricting them to death?
Dropping 100 lbs. from 8 feet up onto two children who each likely weighs less than half of that would probably be enough to make it impossible for the kids to breathe or yell for help or anything.

Ron Laidlaw is a freakin moron, the guy has been trying to ban exotic pets of all types for ages. There does need to be rules and regulations with permits needed, that I agree with but hurting the responsible reptile keepers is b.s. If you are going to ban keeping snakes as pets you better ban keeping dogs as well. Hell, ban everything. It is through proper ownership and education that injury prevention can happen. Not that I am convinced the snake was even the guilty party in this case. The sad thing is that the damage has already been done to this animals reputation no matter what the outcome is.
A co-worker said the boys had eaten a fried chicken for dinner and thats what the snake attacked for.

The uncle was on television, making a statement. He said the boys had spent most of the day out on a farm, touching and goofing around with dogs, cats, sheep and other animals.
After the uncle's statement, an official with the Columbus Ohio Zoo was on and said if the boys hadn't washed following their visit to the farm, a snake with hyper sensitive smell would have noticed, regarded them as prey and went looking for them.
Also possible, I suppose, that the snake fell out of the ceiling right on top of the boys, freaking everyone out, with the snake reacting naturally and wrapping itself around them in a hurry.
All theory.
