Cobras are the among the most poisonous snakes one earth and a Thai young man has the dreadful job of cleaning their pit.
A video of him cleaning the cobra pit, which has over a 100 snakes, had gone viral sometime ago. Chewing gums, he nonchalantly casts the snakes aside, to sweep rubbish and eggs. His demeanour is so casual you may think he is cleaning a rabbit den not a pit filled with deadly snakes.
The cobras, notoriously short-tempered, meekly endure the abuse. One or two hiss, but their anger is quickly dismissed and the man picks them up and throws them away without missing a beat.
The video is not shot in a zoo but possibly in a private enclosure, which uses these animals for performance shows, which are a huge tourist attraction in Thailand.
They are possibly defanged or even have had their mouths sewn shut and are harmless to the man. What you see in the video a shameful case of animal abuse than a display of individual bravery.
If you look behind him, you will find many dead snakes.
