police seized 53 king cobras (one of the most deadliest snakes in the world) in hanoi, vietnam. the driver claimed he was paid less than 50USD to transport his venomous passengers. they were kept in sacks. the destination of his passengers wasn't disclosed to the media.
the king cobra ia an exotic food in vietnam. their venom is also used in traditional medicine.
would you drive a car full of poisonous snakes? what do you think of this?

Since they were all sacked up it might not be so bad. Still nerve wracking. Hope he didn't have to drive too far. The information about the snakes in the article was interesting. I think $50 is a small free for such a endeavor. I bet he is glad it is over. Whoa!

That is really nuts! This driver was either naive or was just out to get the money to transport the dangerous snakes! People do strange things and this is really strange! I would never do anything like this! I am afraid of snakes! This driver must not of been! Yikes!

Well that reminded me of Samuel Jackson movie called Snakes on the Plane,that movie was fun.Anyways about the snakes , i would never do that because its quite risky.The job should be done by someone who has an idea about how Snakes react and how to control them.Best wishes.

i beg to disagree, grv. i don't think anything that has to do with snakes is fun, with all due respect to samuel jackson, whom i admire very much as an actor.

If they are well caged, why not. 50USD is a lot of money to me. If it was legit, then I would gladly take the risk.

I am more afraid of jail than the hissing sound of the snakes. I just won't do it if it is illegal, otherwise, I am not afraid of snakes.

I will not have any close contact with snakes and neither do I want to be in their presence or having the same vehicle as them 
. The driver must be in need of the money that he risked his life for transporting such venomous passengers with only a mall fee of USD50
