A pillowcase containing 16 live snakes was dumped outside a fire station in the United Kingdom, and the best part about this is that this is not the first time it has happened to them.
The pillowcase that contained the snakes was dumped behind a dustbin near the Farringdon Fire Station in Sunderland, United Kingdom, on February 15, 2020.
The announcement was made by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The funny thing about this is that a couple of days earlier, a similar incident had taken place at the same fire station.
In the first batch that they received, 13 royal pythons were dumped at the same fire station in a pillowcase.
The first batch of the snakes inside the pillowcase was spotted by a member of the public after he spotted movement inside a pillowcase that had a Toy Story print on it.
The snakes were brought to a veterinarian, but one of the snakes died later.
Heidi Cleaver, an RSPCA inspector, said she was shocked to find snakes at the same fire station for the second time in the midst of Storm Dennis.
Heidi said, “We were in the midst of Storm Dennis at the weekend when these snakes, who need heat and light in order to survive, were left outside in the cold with just a pillowcase to contain them.”
The 16 snakes in the second batch were also taken to a vet. They were diagnosed to be in good health.
The RSPCA has appealed for more information about the snake dumping.
