Some of you may have seen the film Snakes On A Plane, well this terrifying scenario has recently moved a step closer to reality if you live in the run down boroughs of West London.
The Metropolitan Police & Ealing Council have released a joint warning to residents after a sharp rise in the amount of dangerous animals being kept on the streets. According to todays press release this increase is a direct result of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1997 and the Met's proactive approach to getting 'killer dogs' off the streets.
In an attempt to deflect unwanted attention from the police many drug dealers and runners have taken to keeping vipers, cobras and pythons on leashes instead of pitbulls and 'staffs'. Even though they may not have the same jaw span as an angry pitbull, local residents claimed to have seen hardened street gangsters run in terror after a mere glimpse.
The youths that we approached claimed their snakes were for "personal use only" but also added "boy, i seen nuff mans get duppy on road from snake still", "mans can't fuck with Reps innit, one look an dey duss".
No one knows, at this stage, where this is going to end and as todays evening news brings reports of a Caimen Crocodile spotted on a corner near Hackney Marshes, police are fearing the worst. As an initial response the Met have launched a newly formed Mongoose Squad, although the effectiveness of this iniative is yet to be quantified.
