“Man’s inhumanity to…animals” sends Phoenix Herpetological Society to the rescue!
Seven reptiles, including five pythons, now safely sanctuaried at PHS in north Scottsdale; but sadly, twenty-eight animals remain at life-risk
SCOTTSDALE – August 23. Over the August 19-21 weekend, a production crew, working at a location in northwest Arizona for “Animal Planet,” had been filming for programming titled “Confessions: Animal Hoarding,” scheduled to air in November 2011. It appears that “Animal Planet,” itself, had been tipped off by the male hoarder’s younger sister, probably fearing for the safety of her four-year old daughter and her brother’s six-year old son, neither a match against an escaped 16-foot Reticulated Python! Pythons are not venomous; but adults have 150 razor-sharp teeth -- to which Russ Johnson can painfully attest!
