The young man said he does not keep a snake in captivity continuously. When a new snake is caught, he will release the old one into the forest.
Abu Zarin, 31, a firefighter at Temerloh station, appeared in several newspapers under the headline “The man Thai married a poisonous snake like his late ex-girlfriend.
The man was devastated after his girlfriend died five years ago. However, his mood improved when he found a cobra, which he said bore a “striking resemblance” to his girlfriend and he was convinced that it was his girlfriend reincarnated in the form of a snake.
Because he believed that after death, humans would be reincarnated as animals, he lived with an animal.cobra this 3m long
After hearing the news, Abu was extremely shocked and gave an official response about this mistake. Abu said that he raised venomous snakes at the Malaysian Police and Rescue Department for teaching purposes.
Abu trains students in snake handling as they face real-life situations. Malaysia is a tropical country with a large population of venomous snakes. “The photo they posted is mine. They used my photo without my permission and made up a story about me marrying a snake,” Abu said.
“I want to say that I am very disappointed with the working attitude of Western journalists. They seriously violated journalistic ethics, especially when they arbitrarily took my photo from my personal Facebook,” Abu told The Star.
Abu explained that he raised venomous snakes to better understand their habits and behavior creature “I live with venomous snakes to understand their behavior. Catching snakes is part of my job as a firefighter. I train young trainees how to handle a snake. After catching the snakes, they can release them back into the wild,” Abu said. He stressed that the most important goal is not to kill the snakes and release them safely.
Abu said he does not keep the same snake in captivity all the time. When a new snake is caught, he releases the old one back into the forest. Abu never keeps one snake for more than a year and has cared for four snakes in total.
“I have been training snakes since 2007. This hobby was passed down to me by my father. He is a snake lover,” Abu shared. “Snakes are not difficult to handle. There are many misconceptions about this animal.”
After he spoke up, the misunderstandings were cleared up by everyone.
