Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, February 12, 2012

Negligent owners of animals are a major problem and in my opinion attacks should be followed up on with litigation whenever there is a clear case of negligence. A perfect example, we have all been reading about poor Shaianna Gilkerson, a 2 year old strangled to death by a python in her own mothers home. A place where she should be safe from all danger. The department of children and families had been aware of the living situation and took no ACTION! How does that make you feel? How protected are our children? Her father had to find out about his daughters death via the INTERNET, he was never informed! He has taken legal action against the department of children and families, can you blame him?

Other than in a stew I hate snakes and don't understand wanting one for a pet but I'll be damned if the state has any say in whether someone can or can't have one just because they have a kid

Perhaps have more information about the case before making such asinine comments. We are simply trying to raise awareness about the case. It is attitudea like yours that allowed something like this to happen in the first place.

The little girl, Shaianna, was killed two years ago when the couple's pet Burmese python escaped from its enclosure and strangled the girl in her crib. The snake's tank was only equipped with a quilt for a lid.

A medical examiner testified during the trial that the albino snake named Gypsy was underweight and trying to eat the girl. The snake hadn't been fed for a month when the girl died and was severely underweight at only 13 pounds, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The snake should have weighed nearly 150 pounds, the Sentinel reported.

"Even under the most remote circumstances, it was possible that the child could be injured. And it was their duty to make sure that there was no possibility that a 2-year-old would be bitten or in any way harmed… We feel extremely upset about having to make this decision, but we believe it was the correct one," the foreperson told ABC Affiliate WFTV.

We are simply trying to raise awareness about the case.

No, you're not. The link at the end of your post (now removed) makes clear you were doing paid SEO work for a law firm.

I am suprised these idiots did not also own a pitt bull.
