Kids Watch Snake Eat Family Dog

Sad, but snakes will be snakes. I don't see what the kids have to do with that story at all.

I think its absolutely stupid that the kids had to "watch". Why did no one call when they saw the huge snake in the first place? I tell you what if I saw a 16 foot snake in MY house I'd be calling someone to remove it back to where it belongs LONG before it went after anything. I don't care if it "disapeared" its a 16 foot long snake for crying out loud. A little investigation would have revealed its whereabouts I'm sure. Why would you assume the snake was gone if it was seen "stalking" the dog? The food item didn't go away, why would the snake?

Argh, RIP poor pup. It's sad that you had to become food due to human stupidity.

If I knew there was that large of a snake near my home, not only would I have removed my pets from the area, or at least caged them or something to keep them protected, I would have kept my children safe as well. Not to mention, calling someone to get the snake. I just can't imagine that I would have allowed my children or pets to be around an animal I knew was in the vicinity. And, I'm not saying that I think that snake would have killed the children, but it certainly isn't something I'd knowingly risk. The entire situation sounds cracked to me. :/ Poor children, having to see that happen. And, someone asked or stated why the children had to be mentioned in the story at all, and my assumption is that it makes the story more dramatic. More tragic, because that would be horrifying for anyone to actually witness, especially small children, and tragedy sells stories.
