    A CORPORATE high-flyer has traded in her high heels and glitzy networking events to spend her days training giant alligators and handling some of America’s deadliest snakes. For years, Shannon Saurage, 42, worked in the executive world as part of an HR company where she dealt with 700 employees daily. Now she spends her days with her own 11ft, 550-pound gator named Mr Cuddles - training, feeding, and even kissing the beast at Gator Country, a reptile park and rescue centre in Beaumont, Texas. Shannon works alongside her husband Gary Saurage, who opened the park in 2005, and acts as the lead nuisance alligator hunter for the state of Texas.

      She definitely did not handle him the right way whatsoever... It was so terrible to watch as a snake owner... The snake wasn't being defensive until she yanked it out by the tail and then pinned its head in her hands.. And if you're not experienced that's not an excuse to stress out the animal and potentially have you both get hurt... She should be learning with much smaller animals and working to get this snake used to people before just grabbing it like that herself. The poor thing bit itself because she didn't know what she was doing... Makes me so sad to see this :(

      @@kellyann5587 Even as someone who doesn't work with snakes, it's pretty easy to tell that she doesn't know what she is doing here.
      There are 3 main signs: First of all she grabs the snake by its tail and drags it along the floor, which you should never do when handling a snake, you are supposed to support their entire body when picking them up.
      Then there isthe obvious one of her having to actually wrestle with the snake to get it into the box. And last but not least there's the fact that the snake literally shits itself out of fear! If an animal does that while you are handling it, you are most certainly doing something very wrong.
      To me the disturbing thing here is that she doesn't see anything wrong with how she handled the snake. (And the guy isn't any better.)

And even her husband said he's been banged up by a few reptiles. She's just had the misfortune of having her mishaps filmed. God bless this woman, we need more people like her in the world.

      What gets me is that wild animals are always going to be wild….if you raise a tiger cub, treating it with trust and respect, sleeping with it and feeding it, there is a pretty darn good chance they will never hurt you, they might eat someone they don’t know but you can be it’s family, or pride or pack or whatever….but alligators and crocodiles….There is just something that makes me believe that they are hard wired to eat you and possibly (though unlikely) wonder a couple of days later where is that thing that brings me chicken nuggets. I know they are smarter than previously believed but its brain is still the size of a walnut most of it is going to be used for survival and caring for young…. It’s like trusting a spider not to bite you….

      A “bit naive”? She got into this at like 40 years of age. No prior experience. On top of that reptiles don’t have feelings. They’re not your friend. They know you’ll give them food that tastes good and until the food is coming they’ll be “well behaved” but doing this with alligators instead of animals in need that can’t survive on their own (like dogs) is such a waste of life.

      We have reptilian brain, so we relate to them in deep level, in some point in earth history they helped us survive to be here. That why human have fascination with animals. The reptilian was the beasts that came first to help prepare environment to human survive. There is billions of years of gaps, but the memories dont fade away.
      Another interesting thing, animals help human ground, it impossible having depression or mental illness dealing with animals, snake is symbol of healing, literally. There are some snakes that have kind chemistry in their poison that is able heal heart failure. People that enter in animals web, dont want leave it ever, it kind power holding them from going back to human affair. We human own them an huge gratitude, our physical/emotional system dont forget it. Everywhere in images out there, we see animals. They dominate the in virtual world. There is no scape of ignoring them. They are our roots.
