The incident occurred in the village of Mertoğlu. Entering the garden of 64-year-old Recep Gördal, the 4-meter-long snake attacked his grandchildren who were playing in the garden at the time. Recep Gördal, who saw his grandchildren who started running screaming, killed the snake by shooting with a rifle.
Recep Gördal said he had to kill the snake because he was worried that it would harm his grandchildren. Stating that they experienced great fear when they saw the snake, Gördal said, “I saw my grandchildren screaming screaming. The snake was coming behind them with its head raised 1 meter. I immediately took my rifle and fired to make it escape. But he did not run away, continued to attack.
“THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WITH A YEAR”
It was still coming over us. I also killed by shooting at the head. I wouldn’t want to hit. We do not touch the snakes we have already seen. After all, they bear life and provide the balance of nature. They eat the mice in our gardens. But this was different. When we attacked, we had to protect ourselves. I am afraid as I come to mind. It was the first time that I met such a snake. ” (UAV)
