I wonder what they do with the python?

 

[Scag]

Would they still seize it and hold it if its on a licence. Bikies love there snakes. wonder why? Somewhat quick tax free dollars (well used to be)?

They get a handler in to remove it. It is then held as evidence if required or goes into the hobby. If its licensed its not removed.

It will probably end up in a ballot like all the other snakes taken in raids...

I dont think that its so much that bikers like snakes more than any one else, just that it makes a headline so it makes it into news. whereas if an every day jo got raided and had an illegal snake its not as big news.

Yeah you never see a head line saying "Bikers raided.. police found drugs, bombs, guns and a cat!"

It would if it was about to be fed to the snake...

Unless they can prove it is from the proceeds of criminal activities, not so easy I am sure.

 

[moosenoose]

C,mon who are trying to kid,criminal activities..Why does alot of people think Bikies associate with criminals..Alot of people have illegal-unlicensed reptiles but when they get caught its hardly a headline in the paper,it just sounds better when they say Bikies with illegal snake,not to mention the bomb..

 

[GeckoJosh]

Lol at the "Bomb" it was probably a fire cracker

 

[kawasakirider]

They weren't Arabian camel bikies, were they?

That's because the evil criminal mastermind always manages to escape with his cat to plot his next evil plan for the sequel.

 

[killimike]

I reckon the bikies are responsible for all this global warming...

 

[dadaman]

This has to be the funnest thread going at the moment. Was that a frozen cat or a live cat that was about to get feed to the snake?
