Deaf pets and fighting the police

You are taking a lot of risk by keeping a 9 ft python as your pet.  But if the police come calling because you have not been behaving civic, then you have to be out of your mind if you expect it to play a dog!  SO, here is this guy who had police come calling.. because he was threatening his girl friend with his pet python…

…. and when the police comes in… he orders the python to “GET THEM”!  And the python… just stood there.  For one thing, python are snakes and not dogs and so have no concept of fetching ball.  And second, interesting but frustrating for this guy.. snakes do not hear!  They feel the vibration.. and its unlikely to have learnt the vibratory version for “GET THEM”… seems likely?

So, if you want to your pets to “GET” any unwelcomed guests, either get pets who can listen… or stop threatening!  For, this guy ended up in jail because his pet was deaf!
