no the snake doesn't look like a killer. it is quite dead but the dog doesn't look like a killer either i didn't see this news article but it seems outlandish , and yet another attempt to make staffies seem like dangerous dogs. i don't care if people like snakes, or dogs, or cats, toads, rabbits or mountain goats as far as im concerned, a domesticated animal is as good as its owner. if your dog bites a kid, mauls someone or unfortunately kills someone then why hold the animal responsible. a dog, snake, mountain goat, or even king kong doesn't attack for no good reason there has to be somewhere the line is drawn and people have to be held responsible for the actions of their pets and not the animal themselves.
