Big Python Devours Alligator, Goldfish, Koi Carp in Unusual Cooking Experiment Under Mud
A recent YouTube video showing a giant python consuming several live animals and then cooking them in an underground pit has sparked controversy and outrage among animal welfare advocates and some viewers. The video, titled “Big Python eats Alligator Goldfish Koi Carp Cooking Experiment Unusual Under Mud,” has attracted millions of views and comments, ranging from praise for the exotic cuisine to condemnation for the cruel and unnecessary treatment of animals.
The video, which appears to be filmed in a rural area, shows a group of men catching and carrying various aquatic creatures, including an alligator, several goldfish, and a koi carp, to a pit dug in the ground. The pit is then filled with mud, and a large python is introduced into it. The python quickly wraps itself around the animals and begins to swallow them alive, one by one, as the men cheer and film the spectacle. The python’s jaws are shown to stretch wide enough to accommodate the animals, which are still wriggling and flapping their fins and tails as they disappear into the snake’s belly.
Once the python has devoured all the animals, the men retrieve it from the pit and clean it off. They then kill the snake by slicing its head off with a machete, and proceed to skin and gut it. The snake’s meat is then cut into pieces and seasoned with spices and herbs, before being wrapped in banana leaves and buried in the mud pit again. A fire is lit on top of the pit, and the meat is left to cook slowly for several hours, until it is deemed ready.
The men then dig up the pit again and uncover the cooked snake meat, which is now brown and fragrant. They divide it into portions and eat it with gusto, declaring it to be delicious and nutritious. They also offer some to the camera crew and other people present, who seem less enthusiastic but curious. The video ends with the men laughing and patting each other on the back, while the camera zooms in on the empty pit, now filled with ashes and charred bones.
The video has generated mixed reactions from viewers, with some expressing admiration for the men’s bravery and culinary skills, and others expressing disgust and horror at the spectacle of live animals being fed to a snake and then cooked alive. Animal welfare groups have criticized the video as promoting cruelty and disrespect for animals, and have called for stricter laws and enforcement against such practices. Some viewers have also questioned the legality and safety of the experiment, as it involves killing and consuming protected and potentially toxic species.
While some cultures have long traditions of hunting and eating snakes and other exotic animals, such practices have become increasingly controversial and regulated in modern times, due to concerns about conservation, health, and ethics. While the video may appeal to some people’s curiosity and appetite for unusual foods, it also raises questions about the limits of culinary experimentation and the balance between human needs and animal rights.
