| Before you'll read it in some newspapers or other forums: A friend of mine has been killed by a Crotalus terrificus today at my home. He has been a caretaker for venomous snakes at my zoo earlier - and the circumstances of that accident are more than strange. Shocked greetings Peter _________________ Cobras - breathtaking beauties!

| Oh man, I am really sorry to hear that, Peter. Thanks for bring it up to us personally, before we hear about it in the media, in all the wrong context.
Hang in there, man, and good luck. Most, if not all of us, wish you, his family, and his friends the best.
I hope we get more details as time goes on, from the proper source, and not blown out details from a media free for all... |

| My sympathy Peter! Me and Claudia were both shocked when we read from it in the ORF teletext. As he was an earlier caretaker, I simply cannot understand how he could do this. From my visits I know how extremly carefully You always make sure that all cages are locked. Regards, Guenter |

I am very sorry to read this.
It´s a black day for your friend and his family and you first of all and maybe one for our hobby. But that is not so important at this moment.
If you need any help from me/us, you have my phone-number and address, don´t hesitate to ask.
With deep condolences, Rainer (and Ruth of course) |

| Dear Peter,
that's really bad news, not very far from what I would call worst case. I'm so sorry for your loss - and of course for his family. Although you will never forget that there are still and for any time unanswered questions, I hope you at least won't get in legally trouble about this tragic case of death.
All the best
Peter
