Find another career. I'm tired of people using "well it's their way of living" as an excuse for our planet being ruined. If one person loses their job that doesn't affect a lot of people, but if entire species are being driven to extinction and forests being cutdown that can lead to ripple effects which can effect everyone. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. If the biosphere collapses, we all suffer. Also much of illegal deforestation in the Amazon and climate change is not driven by the people doing the harvesting, but rather by rich corporations who we also need to start holding accountable. The whole reason why pythons are being illegally hunted is that there is a demand for their skins in the west by the rich. However, we should not let the people supplying the illegal animal materials off the hook either.

Well if people don't buy branded bags with snake skin or any other animal skin they wouldn't go out and hunt for snakes

Yes, here in the US you can buy retics online for pets, at herp stores.... they're common here so I don't think they'll go extinct per se.... I'm sure it's a way for governments to create another BS lie to make profit off of. God knows they say they don't condone such things, while behind their back they're accepting the money made by such trades. If they were to become that close to extinct in the wild, they would start farming them, and breeding the many reticulated pythons they have here in the US, (hard to believe they would be hard to breed considering here in FL where it's tropical, and people release their "pets" once they can't safely feed a huge hungry snake that mistakes it's handler for a rabbit lol, ouch. THOSE SNAKES ARE THRIVING IN FL EVERGLADES and are competing with our gators!!!! Not just retics, mostly pythons, but also anaconda, monitors, and tons and tons of iguanas etc. Heck, they do so well, a biologist told me that herp dealers actually release all kinds of reptiles here to let them breed and become plenty in order to farm them without having to care for them. This was fairly recently so while it would suck to have this beautiful snake, become extinct....I can tell you for certain, that they're becoming more and more of an issue here as non native species!!!! And let me tell you this also, people are paid to hunt them here so that they don't kill out the gators and other animals they hunt easily here. So if their numbers are small here relatively, compared to their natural habitat, and they're legally hunted, does that make sense to anyone???? Not me. I think that Mr. Lao is correct about it being BULLCRAP!!!! He may not be correct about white people (yes I'm white) being so clever. We may know how to bully other countries less fortunate than us, we clearly believe lies sold to us like candy!!! Most don't even question what they're told!!! Why?? Does that even make sense? GREED WILL KILL US ALL OFF AND WE ALLOW IT DAILY. WE SAY THANK YOU ACTUALLY!!! WHY? Because we've been brainwashed for enough generations that it's become the norm and no one wants to rock the boat. Research things more if you care. Do not accept ANYTHING or ANYONE'S word for truth.... The truth is there if you care to look... you don't even really have to try people....okay... rant over...oh wait!!! Everyone who says the killing of the snakes is cruel.... yeah it may be. I love animals and snakes. I could not do it I don't think.... unless I was starving like some of these hunters and their families are. Over here, there's a much worse practice. Look up how a slaughterhouse is ran!!!! Are you kidding me???? Like a dead bolt through the head for animals that get eaten here and that's after they're panicked, crushed bones and ribs on the trip as they're packed in as tight as they can get them, and worse. Where's the spotlight for that???? Now people love snakes, but what about cows? Baby cows? Pigs? Goats? They die a much worse death and the life they live up to that point is SO BAD. Just proves people have lost it. No reasoning whatsoever.

Researchers say the growing demand for handbags and other fashion items in Europe is fueling imports. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Traffic International, about 500,000 python skins are exported annually from Southeast Asia, with the overwhelming majority of those skins ending up in the European fashion industry. Luxury brands cited in the report are as high profile as Prada, Gucci, Hermes, Dior, Burberry, Giorgio Armani and Chanel. (European companies) Not saying some don't end up in the states but get your facts straight. Also anyone that takes part in the trade is guilty not just the buyers which are overwhelming European jackass. There would not be any buyers if there were not any sellers.

I hope this goes the way of the dog-meat trade in Asia, as people are looking at animals as either companions, or as valuable and NEEDED parts of the ecosystem that they are in. I am sad for the "farmed" snakes as they will have a life that no wild animal should have to endure-permanent habitation in an enclosure. Never feeling the earth under it's belly, or to climb a tree. To live like a snake should. (and believe me, I am NO reptile lover, but I do love animals, and it breaks my heart to see this.)

They could come to Florida and harvest the offspring of all the pythons released or escaped there, which are now destroying the Everglades.

you know i am not crazy about snakes, BUT this video made me really really sad! that beautiful snake, a female only 3 years old. she wasnt in perfect condition, and should have been let go. jeez he got 5 euros thats 10 bucks, split with a cousin=5 bucks, and then there is the gas??? about 3 dollars...so not worth killing that absolutley beautiful baby girl!

+Cindy Sue i have never ever bought anything made of snake or lizard skin. i dont wear fur. i do wear and use leather because i see leather as a bi-product. people do not kill a cow because it will make a nice couch. at least a lot more of the cow is used. but to kill any creature just for its skin to make some vain kook think that they look good? that is so bad, so evil! these are really beautiful snakes! such a shame. this guy is a dirty scuzball!

Should get them from Florida, the state bounty is a couple hundred per snake PLUS you can sell the skin, and pythons are invasive in Florida so it helps the ecosystem instead of hurting it

Uh you ever heard of breeding them

It's not only the rich people.I was in Italy last year and when I was shopping i saw some really good quality snakeskin belts which were only 120$.I think mostly everyone in the western world can afford that.And the skin was 100% genuine python skin and judging by the scale size it should have been around 5-6 meters tall.

I live in Arizona. I can't afford a fucking belt for $120. That's how much my family's food cost every two weeks

love how a lot of people oin here shout about how cruel python killing etc is , but what about cows chickens , pigs sheep/lambs are also killed? why is it that everyone feels for the exotic animals ,but when it comes to the more "domestic\farm animals" no one gives a crap, not even the animal activists!! how is a hunter trying to feed his family any different form a farmer who is also doing the same thing? at least no part of the python is left to waste! when you hunt or kill an animal , you honour it by not wasting it !

+AngelTashaUK Nothing wrong with python hunting at all as long as it's sustainable. people need to know that when they buy something they are responsible for all the gains and loss of all those involved including the animal. If you buy a meat or leather then you are are another signature on its death warrant. As a Canadian in Malaysia I saw a lot of the belligerence that is reflected in my home country. Because we still have beautiful lands we think we can get away without strict controls and sustainability work and a general awareness of waste disposal. It should become global common sense that all harvesting need to be done wisely. ancient hunters knew this in almost every culture...now we are ignorant. Get these harvesters proper training if you think they are inhumane... and give real numbers and work out global trade law so workers can have pricing and regulation that will allow future generations to harvest responsibly.

+AngelTashaUK Right, no difference, because as we all know, cattle and sheep, pigs, chicken.... are also nearly extinct. And THATS what most people that complain care about! Not the killing or hunting techniques, but the killing of critically endangered animals. Noone would say anything bad about farming P. reticulatus for it´s hide/meat if they were bred in captivity (and not "farmbred" as they do with Tupinambis merianae in Argentina)! But, as I said, hunting a species to extinction because of fashoin is absolutely intolerable. Might as well go hunting for the last 3 northern white rhinos then, maybe I can sell their hide to some collector for a ridiculous amount of money. Or maybe do this to Siberian Tigers and Giant Pandas....damn, I could only imagine how butthurt the whole world would be... But most people don´t seem to think about it, but they would cry about the cute Pandas and Tigers, but when it comes to a Snake Species, they are like "whatever, I don´t like snakes anyway"... We need to know that every creature on this earth is important, and no species should go extinct, because of us I am aware that some species go exting without our "help", but mostly, it´s because of habitat destruction or unnecessary hunting. In my opinion, this is why people should be educated about the importance and beauty of the creatures, "noone cares about" Because no one want´s to protect what they don´t care about, and no one cares about something they have never seen or heard of. But you are right, global regulations or bans (because the snkae skin bags are not necessary) would be a great start. The Python hunters would have to get another job, I´m sure they would be able to do so

I recall reading some time ago that Reticulated Pythons are protected by law in Malaysia?

7000 depend on capturing snake???? where you get that number????

I agree, come to Florida and make a living

:3 I don't really have to read the subtitle

His luck seems to be changing... Until he’s taken all the snakes out of that area too... This isn’t sustainable. Breeding programmes should be in place to at least replace the ones they take from the wild.

You would think that raising hatches on your own would be a better than just catching the local population.

so they ban the export from malaysia so the snakes dont face extinction, however they have banned state transport of the burmese pythons in America and are looking to do the same for retics all because there is a small population in parts of florida, retics and burms are also prolific breeders and there is a huge captive population worldwide as pets. I highly doubt they would ever go extinct, even if they were extinct from the wild there will always be enough captives that could be reintroduced.

Exactly!!!!! I live in FL And they're hunted legally, and in fact they're paid for once caught and killed here and still their numbers grow!!! Only herp people really know what's going on here....breeders have figured out that they can release them and other herps and they don't have the overhead, or the care involved and can go catch them pretty easily when they need to restock for online sales, or herp shows. I was told this by a biologist who's son does this so.... yeah. They'll be just fine I'm sure. It's just more of the same lies and greed to promote lining more pockets

They used to hunt 10 snakes a day & get surprised when they're not catching anymore 🤦🏾‍♂️

Why don't they just do what the southern states did when Alligators became endangered and farm them? It would be a lot more predictable and would produce more snakes. I can't imagine it would be difficult to do since pythons are already farmed for the pet trade.

shelly belly Iz just good skin, snakeskin is good tough, durable skin. Jst like alligator. tough hide. Unfortunatley you can't come to America. then you could eat LOTS of snakes and never go hungry. AND very easy to find. I'm sorry your country is being depleted of a natural species! They are all here in America, illegallyl, I WISH I could send them back to your country. Especially if starving people are involved. If an American ate snake meat and was never told, he would like it. Just don't tell. Excuse me while I go puke

Is it not banned to export import or trade animal or animal parts

I could go for some snakeskin boots right about now

We don’t hate the snakes. The Pythons don't belong in Florida and the natural wildlife is being destroyed. So they are paying hunters to kill them.

The coconuts gave me a lot of nostalgia from Philippines, I really miss my home :'(

I would rather 1 million pythons be killed than one of those children of the hunters die from starvation…
