lo-uy sad sa snake oi. it was merely trying to defend itself from what it saw as a threat (the humans)...

cobras and snakes are not evil you know...

anyway, lo-uy sad ang dog... and what the pit did was very heroic (i have 3 pits).

good thing the old lady as well as the kid wasn't bitten by the snake...

but the underlying issue is the bigger issue... think encroachment and simple abuse of nature. maybe the snake was in search of food/prey (which is no longer available in the wild because in the first place the wild itself is no longer available) it's just impossible to think that the snake went hunting for humans...

i know for a fact that snakes doesn't bite right away unless it's hunting... it will try scare tactics first. if ni back away ang tao i'm pretty sure the snake wont go after her... i bet mu dagan sad ang snake the opposite direction. if it wanted to bite the lady wala na tana... patay na ta to ang tao. na pa-akan na ta to dayn. the death of the pitbull as well as the snake might have been avoided.

anyway, lo-uy lang gyud ko maka kita ug dead snakes. sa ako experience ang mga pinoy wala pa ka kita ug snake nya gi-pasagdan ra.. or gi-relocate. patay gyud ang snake na ma kit-an sa mga pinoy... mura naa shoot to kill order ang mga snake dinhi sa pinas. may it be the highly poisonous Philippine cobra or the non-venomous garter snake. it's just awful...

but then again... the social mindset is, a humans life is more important than the life of any other life form in this planet. so i guess what happened was for the better... i'm still happy that no human was harmed... and i feel sorry for the pit as well as the snake.

i'm just thinking outloud... hehehehe... don't mind me. i don't think i'm making sense. LOL
i have to stop hanging out with those PETA guys.

here's a lil info by the way.

kapoy post ug picture so look it up in google. but here's a list of all the cobras found in the philippines. sadly... most of them are in the brink of extinction. i believe most of us will never encounter any of these cobras in our lifetime even if we go out of the city for they will all be extinct in 20 maybe 10 years maybe less.

1.) naja sumatra: black, black and white dorsal. sometimes yellowish.

2.) Naja samarensis: Southeastern Philippine cobra, Samar cobra (most common cobra in the philippines and probably the snake in the picture)

Unmistakable. Pattern: dorsal ground colour black, with numerous light variegations, especially between scales; in juveniles, a conspicuous light line along dorsal scale rows 2, 3 or 4; pattern less conspicuous in adults; venter light, cream or yellow; one very wide (usually more than 10 ventral scales) dark ventral band.

3.) Naja philippinensis - Northern Philippine Cobra

Fairly stockily built. Pattern: adults uniformly light or medium brown, occasionally some lighter variations; juveniles dark brown, with lighter variegations, sometimes a dark band behind the throat.

i got this info from a book about snakes in asia.

i can already predict that i will get flamed for this... but it's all good. i'm for nature above anything else. and i wanted to play the devils advocate. hehehehe...

pinakanindot na response sa ani na thread. luoy ang both species, the snake was simply looking for food & the pitbull was just trying to protect. naluoy ko nagtan-aw sa pic sa pitbull ug snake pagkamatay.
