When Indian snake charmer Hakkul found that a plot of land he was promised was being held from him unless he bribed certain officials, he protested by leaving a writhing mass of snakes in a tax office in Uttar Pradesh, as one does. Hakkul needed the land to care for his writhing mass of snakes and apparently would have gotten it if not for corrupt officials. Among his writhing mass were several venomous cobras. Reportedly, no one was hurt during the protest.
Hakkul put it this way:
“I am a conservationist and have been seeking the government’s help. Having waited patiently for so long, I had no option but to leave all my snakes in this office.”
Who could argue with that?

- If this guy worked at that office, he’d probably have shoved some of them up his nose
- Two Geck-bros fight off a snake and survive to bro another day
- The worm in this toad’s eye isn’t quite a snake, but it’s close enough
