Aside from the nightmare-inducing factors of this article, it is also obvious that editors aren’t as careful as they could be. The author used “coup” to refer to an enclosure for chickens, when the word should be “coop”. A “coup” usually results in the overthrow of a government.

And I thought a coup was a two door car.

Really though who in the world thinks

keeping a Cobra for a pet is a good idea.

Then throwing the poor thing away and terrorizing

a town.

You gave the coup de grâce to the editors with that explanation.
