Trapping a huge python with a live chicken as bait GIF

Are just an average sized snake fan?

Considering that I stomped one flat that was less than a foot long because it struck at the side of my boot while I was walking with my kid, you could say I'm pretty cold blooded towards them.

Part of me still hopes it's okay, or at least didn't suffer

Same, I know it has to be done but it's not like the snake asked to be this big or be a threat.

Did they tie the chick? Why does it stay?

It’s tied to the stick behind it. You can tell if you zoom in.
