Bangkok's Top Snake Catcher Trains Firefighters but Is Running Out of Containers
Firefighters in Bangkok, Thailand's capital, spend more time catching snakes than fighting fires. Pinyo Pukpinyo, who trains them, refuses to kill the snakes and is running short of containers.
In Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, firefighters do more snake catching than firefighting. Dealing with snakes has become a central part of their daily work.
The firefighters are trained by Pinyo Pukpinyo, whom The New York Times describes as the city's leading snake catcher. According to the newspaper, demand for his services is strong.
His work has one problem. Pukpinyo refuses to kill snakes, so the captured reptiles have to be kept somewhere, and he is running out of containers to hold them.
The short summary available from the source does not say where the captured snakes ultimately end up or how the shortage is expected to be solved.
