It's an Abomination

A snake and hamster shack up, and everyone's thinking that this is cute and funny? People make me sick. This is an abomination. This couple is destroying the meaning of good and pure co-habitation! What am I supposed to tell my daughter... that this is acceptable? This needs to stop, for the childrens sake. We need a constitutional ammendment to protect co-habitation from sick disgusting monsters like these. I don't hate them, I hate what they do.

From BBC News:

A rodent-eating snake and a hamster have developed an unusual bond at a zoo in the Japanese capital, Tokyo. Their relationship began in October last year, when zookeepers presented the hamster to the snake as a meal. The rat snake, however, refused to eat the rodent. The two now share a cage, and the hamster sometimes falls asleep sitting on top of his natural foe.

"I have never seen anything like it," a zookeeper at the Mutsugoro Okoku zoo told the Associated Press News agency.

it's not exactly the lion and the lamb, but it's surely a sign we are in the End Times.

"As a joke, the zookeeper said they named the hamster Gohan - the Japanese word for meal."

I've heard of a snake doing the same thing with a mouse, but it's not a permanent thing. Unfortunately for Gohan, he's still a meal, just one not being eaten right away. My money is still on the snake. Even if they've negotiated a detente, some day the snake is going to get upset at the hamster and just snap.
