Cobra loose in Thousand Oaks, California...

Out here in La La Land aka Hollywood... For those that know "Hollywood" is in reference to practically every area in the immediate vicinity of Los Angeles that has studios and actors!
Anywho...
Here in Tinseltown the capital of the entertainment world it is not uncommon to find rich and wealthy entertainers or executives owning exotic pets usually reserved for National Geographic just because they can!
Some may have their own personal zoos that make small countries envious but nonetheless when does the curiosity for dangerous pets end badly?
Lions, tigers and bears oh my... And then you have those with venomous snakes that get loose and often without someone to claim responsibility assuming that the snake did not have frequent flyer mileage or at the least slithered across the ocean to audition for movie roles! Lol
The easy thing would be to claim this as a white people issue but now knowing that the guy that had a pet tiger in his apartment was a black man you have to throw the race card out on this one!
On many occasions as I hike these California mountains I have crossed paths with rattlesnakes and as long as you don't bother them they don't bother you... Heck I even filmed one swallowing a squirrel with my "UFO" camera which means it came out all fuzzy but you can at least make out the snakes tail if you squint!
Note: I used a pair binoculars that came with a filming mechanism and it was the first time I used it so the pics look blurry my bad!
When I hiked once with my dog she pulled on the leash to get after rabbits, squirrels, birds and the occasional stray cat but not once did she bark or try to chase after a rattlesnake clearly in our hiking path as it slowly slithered along the dirt trail and eventually disappeared into the bushes... My dog aint say ish the whole time I captured the incident on my iPhone! Lol
Most animals can sense some type of danger and yet a human being that should know better imported a venomous reptile into a residential area and obviously did not have the means to keep this dangerous creature on permanent lockdown!
I loved the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin but I have no intentions to fill the role he left vacant on his passing and neither should normal untrained persons be allowed to have and raise pets that can remind you how wild things can get if the cage is left unlocked for just one night!
Let my son go over his friends house and play with his dad's pet tiger and things get out of hand... Don't apologize just go out back and dig a ditch for you and your tiger because both of yaw'll is getting dealt with!
Just to mess with you here is that fuzzy UFO rattlesnake swallowing the quarrel pick...
