Justice for legal owned boa Big Shirl

The Issue

Hi there, as someone who is apart of the reptile community  i am extremely upset among with hundres of thousands of people. What the FWC has done made me lose faith in humanity, with the holy thursday massacre that happened was just uncalled for. I know alot of people will agree with me by saying "I want these fwc officers fired and or charged with animal cruelty." The way that these officers have handled the situation was inhumane. My heart goes out to the owner of big Shirl and sweetie along with the other snakes that had been killed.

These FWC officeres had been told that big shirl a boa constrictor that was currently pregnant at the time was not to be messed with. After they had pulled big shirl out of her tank they had killed her only moments later realizing what they had done. In the video you can see one officer shrugging it off and another smiling. Let's not forget to mention how they had put down these snakes, using a bolt/nail gun to the head. Doing things the inhumane way is why the reptile community doesnt trust the FWC, seeing heart breaking things like this is why we dont trust the FWC. 

Please stand with me as we try to get these FWC officers fired or charged with something. No animal should have to be put down like this the least they could have done was try to rehome them. If the FWC officers couldnt of rehomed them or put them in the wild then they should of been put down by a vet in a humane way. If the FWC goes to hire anyone else they should really teach them better about different snakes or other reptiles so this tragic event never happens again!

 

Please standwith me as I repeat this again I want these FWC officers fired and or charged with animal cruelty!!!

 

If anyone would like to make a formal complaint to the governors office, call them at 850-717-9337 ext. 1 then request a call back because thats the only way to get a hold of them, everyone needs to demand FWC be stripped of their ability to control captive animals and demand the officers be charged and commissioners fired
