A couple in Bristol, UK, whose cat Wilbur was apparently eaten alive by their neighbour’s pet python, are petitioning for stricter laws in Britain that would make the Dangerous Wild Animals Act include constrictor snakes. Wilbur wandered into the neighbour’s garden where the python, whose name is not known, “ambushed” the cat, according to the BBC, which quotes a spokeswoman for the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) as saying “A spokeswoman said: “The snake was scanned and we can confirm that a microchip was found inside. We can’t know for certain that it was Wilbur, but it is very, very likely.” Justice for Wilbur (website set up by cat’s family)
