Cruel Fate

Most heartbreaking news ever.  I can't bear to think what the parents of these two sweet little boys are going through right now. The vid takes a few seconds to load.



From CBCNews:
....The young boys who police say were killed during a python attack in New Brunswick have been identified as two brothers aged five and seven, sources confirmed to CBC News.

Authorities say autopsies are scheduled for today, hoping to shed light into the incident.

Noah Barthe, 5, and Connor Barthe, 7, were killed by a large African rock python while visiting an apartment upstairs from Reptile Ocean in Campbellton, N.B.

The two boys were found dead Monday morning.

A criminal investigation has been launched. In the meantime, the shocking attack has baffled even snake experts.

"It’s strange, I’m just trying to piece it together,” says Lee Parker, the facilities manager at Ontario reptile zoo Reptilia. “They don't go on killing sprees … it doesn't make sense to me."

Jeff Reynolds, manager at the Reptile Store in Hamilton, says: "The [African rock python] is not overly aggressive, not any more aggressive than your larger-type snake. I find it very bizarre that it would attack two [kids]."

Such deadly attacks aren’t unheard of, but are rare..........
