Fair enough have your views but don't be saying bad things about a person that has lost their life, it is sickening!! And I think you might find if you read K's post once again that he was VERY rude in the comments he made!

That would be because I do think he was a plank for the way he free-handled like that in front of the cameras, it makes him seem like he was showing off. As I said in a previous post it's his family I feel sorry for because they would've been watching him do that regularly KNOWING that one day was gonna be the last, it wasn't a matter of if but when!

It's my opinion that there's a time and a place for ridiculous handling of hot species, and it isn't in the dining room of a semi in hertfordshire (or wherever the place is again).
I am not saying bad things about a person that lost their life, I'm saying bad things about the way they ACTED, it's totally different. I would 100% expect people to say I was a massive plank if I got myself bitten due to stupid handling.

I fully understand that some people do also handle snakes like that, but I believe he played up for cameras.

/ninja edit:
I would suggest to check out the quote near the bottom of this article. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/pets/8607220/Snake-lover-killed-by-one-of-his-24-king-cobras.html
I'm sorry, but the warning signs that a bite was imminent are in the photo, and in the quote.

it is truly sad that a man died, but you have to agree free handling king cobras is nothing but reckless as he found out at his own cost.

I was speaking to the man in Exotics sheffield today and he knew him, he told us he was in a rush trying to get it all ready to open for the public so he probably became a bit lapse with what he was doing.
