Summary
47 year old Luke Yeomans had been breeding king cobra’s to save them from extinction for 30 years when he was bitten by one and died. Luke had dedicated his whole life to saving the snakes and he had a huge collection at home in a sanctuary. He was convinced the snakes would never turn on him because they knew he would do them no harm. Unfortunately one of the snakes decided otherwise. The paramedics believed he suffered from a heart attack.
Reaction
This is a sad story, I think he was doing a good thing by breeding this snakes to prevent extinction. But I think it is really naive to think that the snakes are not going to harm you because they know you feed them and take care of them. They’re predators and they do not turn into pets because you treat them nice. That is just not their nature. And when you have spent 30 years of your life learning about these creatures you should know better. But maybe because in all those years he was never harmed he started to believe the snakes would never turn on him.
