Cobra

This past Saturday, received a call from Pastor Luwawa to notify they had just killed a snake. He was wondering if I would like to see a "large" African snake... of course, I did! When I arrived, I found a 6-7 ft dead spitting cobra. (better dead than alive). Although the snake was clearly dead, it was fun to watch as people would walk by and view the snake with fear. Even to come within 3-5 ft caused too much stress for most Zambians. One of the Bible Institute men told me the next day he had bad dreams of snakes all night long...
The one unfortunate side, in the process of killing the snake, one of the Pastor's dogs was spit in the eye by the venom from the snake. A few hours later, the dog could hardly open his eyes and I am left to only believe he will eventually lose vision in at least one eye.
