Endangering animals to emphasize animal abuse

This guy should look up irony in the dictionary. He put his snake in a drain pipe to enlighten people about the fact that people don't take good care of their pets. Brilliant.

A man who caught a 14-foot (4.2-meter) python in a Florida drain pipe was charged with perpetrating a hoax after wildlife officers discovered he owned the snake and put it in the pipe in order to stage the capture.

Justin Matthews, a professional animal trapper, later admitted that he had "staged the event to call attention to a growing problem of irresponsible pet ownership," the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said on Thursday.

Matthews was charged with misusing the 911 emergency system and maintaining captive wildlife in an unsafe manner.

Later he will set fire to a forest to highlight careless campers and then he will club a few seals to show how animals in the arctic are mistreated.
