    Ritamma, most probably the skin was put up on the tree to dry up with an intention of selling. People want to make money anyhow.. I feel, they must have eaten the meat.

    Pythons and other snakes have no useful function in an urban environment.

    Pythons are one of the most important link of food chain even in Urban areas. They hunt on rats,Mongooses,toddy cats and at time even cats and puppies who population in most cities is beyond control. Mother Nature doesn't put any species on any part of planet without reason,it's only this egoistic species called humans which thinks it's above and beyond everything including its creator. Infact I would like to ask you the same question buddy,what's your contribution to this planet apart from all the carbon footprints you are leaving behind? Do you convert carbon di oxide into oxygen? Purify water for the rest of the universe? Or atleast do you take care of a few helpless beings around you? It's sad but also the truth that even one of those rats in your house does more to this planet by scavenging than a egoistic self self centred human being. Cheers..!!

    We all are created on this earth on purposes. Everybody is assigned a work that's suitable to him/it. Contributions of humans to the world is unlimited. What you use laptop/mobile/education etc etc are invented and introduced by human beings. Same way whats nature has to contribute it does to us ....oxygen ....yes ...it does its work and we along with animals are breathing today. Same way.....what we humans contribute to the world, others cant....What they are assigned to do....we humans are unable to do. We do agree, animals too are equally important like we do....to maintain our eco system. When they come and harm us how to keep quiet and look at the tragedy? We all love animals...When everything is out of control and cannot manage, no govt personnel support or do not attend on call, what can be done in difficult situations? People should not consume non veg/mushrooms/eggs.....They have life

    This Urban Environment you're talking about was once inhabited by Pythons and other fauna! What is all rhe use of your property papers to them? They're irrelevant to animals. and so are you! So, instead of speaking lightly about this, you must focus on how to rescue them. Don't they teach this in school? Or you've never been to one?

    Money making business/racket. Few Rs.500.- notes would have done magic ! Animals, snakes, Cattle etc. are taken care of over humans.

    Why to arrest? Warn them and leave. Nuisance of pythons have increased and forest officials do not take any action regarding this. Evenif some come, take money take python and leave at another place other side of the road. Inmocent people are arrested easily and punished but not murderers/rapists/looters/50% commission takers etc.😡

    Educated people should be the last to speak such nuisance. Python is a schedule one animal under the Wildlife act. Pythons are not found everywhere,they are found around western ghats and surroundings bordering western ghats for a reason to keep the population of certain animals under control. People have invaded these places,built houses and now complain of them eating chicken and ducks,which are anyways eaten by the same people who fry foul. Stop invading their homelands first,even writing such statements on public platforms is known as provocation to kill and can be used against the writers.

    your logic is good but it is not reality. Looks like you are living in another planet. Come to this world from another planet. Your ideas are up in the air. Make some time to visit few farmers and know their pain.

    We are not educated.....we are the sufferers by the nuisance dear Animal lover. You must be staying in a safe protected building. Advising others is as easy like eating icecream at ideals. If you have time come to villages and listen their cries/woes.....you will understand. Some people say dont attack street dogs. Yes, we too have heart ....when they chase and bite, do animal lovers come and rescue ? If we hadn't faced such nuisances, we people wouldn't be against this. Let pythons/snakes any come animal come and stay in our compounds as long as they dont harm us and as long as animal lovers/govt/forest officials protect us and help us immediately.

    They must be punished severely... Snakes help the ecosystem and we must be gentle to them... For that matter any animal or insect has its own purpose known to Almighty... We have no right to kill them for no reason...
