I am wondering if the worlds largest snake, the giant 49 ft snake housed in India is related to this? Also, have any of the SI ppl had the oppty to see this snake in person, is it really that large? I am very fond of large snakes & I also think its wrong to take their life to make shoes, etc.

Of course everyone would see it. It would be the most popular animal on earth.

Were the cuts to movie clips necessary? It made the video appear ... trite and unprofessional.
