Release Sarp

Had not security guards seen Sarp, the 18-foot anaconda, last week near the Caroni cremation site, then all this pappyshow would have been history.
 
Sarp would have slithered into oblivion via the river or forest and citizens would have continued to read about the next victim on the murder count.
 
I can’t understand why this 200-pound animal has been subjected to so much stress. A newspaper report stated that the snake was bruised by a rope “which was tightly knotted around the neck to prevent it from escaping.”
 
On TV, I saw hordes of people in a confined space trying to get a glimpse of this magnificent creature—more stress. Is the animal pregnant or not? While zoo officials, vets, and the Forestry Division try to find out the answer, I believe the snake’s survival is under risk. The sooner the snake is released from captivity, the better.
