"Snakeman" Let Snakes Bite Daughter

Today’s Worst Dad Award goes to Australian “Snakeman” Raymond Hoser, who let two poisonous snakes, a taipan and a death adder, bite his daughter to prove they were de-venomized and safe. Apparently this demonstration was intended as a response to charges that he had breached his Commercial Wildlife Demonstrator License, because nothing shows you’re a conscientious animal handler like letting something with “death” in its name bite your kid. The girl was apparently not poisoned, but she was left with bleeding bite marks and the beginnings of a really lucrative memoir.
