    Do you feel passionate or sick about how or when man becomes cruel or indifferent to the plight of animals? Most of us do. We all have a soft side despite our tough-looking.For instance, we would never knowingly harm a dog or cat, let alone a puppy or kitten.When we see cruel acts perpetrated by our fellow human beings, we feel sad or disgusted. But do we do anything to stop or at least discourage such horrible acts? If you have come across such cruelties - such as dogs tied to a post in the hot sun without water to drink, or has his chain tied to a window bar so high that the poor animal can not move, sit or lie down for a long period - and would like to tell the world about them, and how you feel about them, please write and email your stories to freedotlance@yahoo.com. Please mark your email with a heading 'For Publishing in Readers Write page.' We would like to hear from you all - whether cruel or kind acts that you deem worth recounting them to the world wide web; so that we can educate people to stop their nastiness.

Bob,

I couldn't agree more.

How the poor animal was supposed to survive if it's not allowed to digest something?

Are they trying to protect the food chain? For whom? The Burmese python itself is in the food chain, for heaven's sake.

They should just let it go. After all it didn't eat a human being, or a horse, or a pet dog/cat, but a deer.

Deers belong in the food chain while domectic cats or dogs do not.

The Burmese python has every right to be where he is, and naturally had to to digest something to stay alive.

It's cruel and unrational for the Florida wildlife officials to summary take a life of an animals just stop the pythons 'from reaching north.'

How the pythons or other animals are supposed to survive if the cannot hunt and consume other animals as preys? Don't forget all animals in the jungle food chain, including the pythons, are preys.

Although the Burmese python was big alright, but don't discount the possibility that there are other larger animals big enough to swallow this python.

For one, the place he's found looked like a swamp which is a place where the crocodiles roam. Humans should not interfere in the animal world unless we have to. For instance, in Australia there are poisonous toads that pose danger to snakes or crocodiles if the toads are eatent.

I once watched an African elephant which got separated from its herds and attacked and eaten by a group of lions in a movie. Later the filmmaker commented that much as he pitied the pachyderm, he felt interference was not warranted as it was an animal things. Animals killed by animals. If the elephant was victimized by a human being was a different story he said.

I couldn't agree more.

But in this case, the Burmese python just hunted and killed a deer which is his natural food.

I hope in future wildlife officials are more restrained; so that all life forms can survive.
