Liberals/Socialists/Communists initiate their big “ideas” with lots of tunnel-vision thought that is riddled with “unintended consequences”. . but, then they will not backtrack and discontinue ANYTHING or program they started - it would be admitting they were wrong. Also, all those great government grants they’re riding would dry up.

DDT is just one foray into tunnel-vision thought that comes to mind that has killed hundreds of thousands of people due to malaria. So, now we donate mosquito netting instead. . a band-aid at least.

I’m not a vet but I can believe the swelling could do serious damage. My Jack Russell Terrier was bitten by a baby cottonmouth in the face and had terrible swelling. The vet had her in the hospital for a few days.

It is a credible hypothesis. The constriction from the collar versus the oedema caused by the snake bite could have impaired circulation and the airway.

I had the honor of cleaning a Snow Leopard's teeth that was kept at the Knoxville Zoo. One can get a real appreciation of the size of the cat and the teeth when one is up close and personal with the working end of the cat.

There was one picture of Flower (dead) and it looked....to this entomologist...that the collar had constricted the airway. If you can find that picture post it for all to see.
Thanks. BA
