A 64-year-old woman was preparing to do her evening dishes at her home outside Bangkok when she felt a sharp pain in her thigh and looked down to see a huge python taking hold of her
Police and animal control officers used a crowbar to hit the snake on the head until it released its grip and slithered away before it could be captured.

I cannot imagine not simply sawing its head off.

Did no one have a 2" pocket knife? Not even a box cutter?!
Maybe they were worried it would actually crush her if they tried that.
In it’s death throes? I had never considered that.
