Picture Showing How National Geographic Channel's Cameramen Used African Boy To Lure Python So That They Could Film The Scene (Please Share Widely To Protest)

                 

 

I got very angry with this picture when I saw it on a website and decided to bring this to your attention. These men (camera men) work for National Geographic Channel, I understand the picture was taken in Cameroon. How can a python be attacking a child and all they could do was take pictures? Is it because this boy is black or an African? We need answers and we need to ensure that these men are prosecuted for this show of heartlessness. I am even beginning to think that this boy was actually used to lure the snake, so that they could film the scene. As Africans wherever you are, please share this widely and demand that these men be prosecuted, until it gets to the appropriate authorities. Please do not just read, please share widely.
