PETA Protester Dies from SNAKE BITE…
PETA PROTEST ENDS IN TRAGEDY
Phoenix, AZ (CBC) - A PETA protest against the sale and manufacturing of snake-skin boots ended in chaos after a poisonous snake bit and killed a protester.
Lezlie Mitchels was carrying a dangerous coral rattlesnake while protesting Mountain Hike snake-skin boots when she was bitten. The venom entered her bloodstream and she began screaming and crying. When asked why the other protesters didn’t intervene and get her help, they claimed not to have noticed because Lezlie’s protesting had typically been theatric and hysterical.
“Before she got bit she’d been yelling and crying and after she’d been bit she was yelling and crying. How could I tell that the snake bit her?” said Paul Roccoil.
The first sign that she was actually in pain came when she collapsed onto the floor and began frothing from the mouth. By the time medical help arrived she was already dead.
When asked about the incident, a Mountain Hike Boots representative replied “Sure is a tragedy, ain’t it? But that’s why we turn these venomous monsters into boots - to protect the people.”
PETA has another protest against crocodile-skin boots planned for next Thursday.

I expect Thursday to hear a story about a PETA woman maimed by crocodiles.

how do you not see a snake lunge at somebody??
i work at a zoo.
you can see when a snake starts to bite someone.
andd…
snakes aren’t monsters.
they’re just scared of us.
it’s their way of defending themselves.
they get confused when half of us kill them and the other half try to save them…

Both sides are terribly mistaken. PETA while having good intentions is too extreme. It’s just common sense not to hold a poisonous snake. The snake’s head may have been in her hand and may have been able to twist enough to bite her. While I don’t work in a zoo I but the rep is wrong by calling them ‘monsters’ . to my knowledge no animal has ever acted out right like a monster without being provoked by us (habitat destruction). This extremism with no compromise seems to be a reoccurring theme in this era.

The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. Carrying a poisonous snake in your hand? That’s just natural selection folks, can’t pass on your genes if you’re too stupid to live. I’m not a “zoo employee,” but I’ve never heard of a coral rattlesnake. Rattlesnake, yes. Coral snake, yes. Some form of hybrid, doubtful. Snakes are not monsters, but sometimes humans can be.
