A Village in China faced an ‘infestation’ of snakes after a woman released some 900 serpents back into the wild in a nearby mountain area.
The act supposedly cleanses sins and brings ‘good karma’.
Unfortunately, the snakes made their way to a nearby village where terrified villagers beat many of them to death.
Reports say villagers have have had sleepless nights over the last week. One villager was said to circle his house hourly to check for snakes.
Chengdu Economic Daily reported that the Chengdu Wildlife Services Department had identified some of the snakes as venomous, according to the pictures spread on social networking website Weibo.
The woman is known as a fanatical practitioner of “fang sheng” based on her Weibo posts. The release of the 900 snakes was reportedly her latest release of animals.
Angry citizens said the woman had been responsible for the town’s infestation, though she later denied releasing them in that area.
One Weibo user said: “You must have done some pretty bad stuff to be so desperate for good karma.”
Forestry specialists said the mass release could disrupt the ecological balance in the areas, while police have also aired their concerns over the matter.
