Looked to me that all he was trying to do was get away from a bunch of idiots with a stick

This is a clear case of cruelty to animals. Pathetic and sad. Those involved should be jailed.

Although pythons do bite, they're not venomous, and a python bite would be no more terrifying than being bitten by a dog or cat.  Now, if he got himself wrapped around you . . . . 

Not venomous is right but those teeth are not without danger !!!! a dog or a cat ?????

Pythons bite, normally at the head, and hold on to give themselves an anchor to help wrap their bodies around their prey. With a hundred teeth and probably over 50 kilos in weight it's a formidable apex predator. I can't understand why people keep them as pets.

 

Bad parenting.   Kids keep them as pets until they get too large, and then they just take them out somewhere and let 'em loose.   In many areas where this happens the python has no natural predators, and so as you can imagine, cats & dogs & farm animals and I imagine some of the native wild species start disappearing...

 

Example...
