In a shocking incident, a pregnant cobra was put through brutal torture by some miscreants, who sealed its mouth with glue.
The incident was reported in Bhubaneswar on Thursday (April 15), when snake helpline members rescued the pregnant cobra snake.
As per the snake helpline members, they received a call from locals near Gobindeswar Road regarding a cobra snake in the area. After receiving information, the snake helpline members reached the spot and discovered, to their horror, that its mouth had been sealed using synthetic glue.
Then on Friday morning (April 16), the snake was taken to Odisha University of Agriculture & Technology (OUAT) Veterinary College for a check-up. Subsequently it was found that the snake was pregnant. To keep the reptile safe, the snake helpline members decided against using chemicals to remove the glue. Instead, they used lemon juice to loosen the glue, stuck in the snake’s mouth. After a long and tedious process, the team of snake rescuers finally managed to remove all glue from the snake’s mouth. Currently, the cobra is under-observation and would be released into the forest area after it is deemed fit.
