On Wednesday afternoon at the “S\u0142oneczko” bathing area in Piotrk\u00f3w Trybunalski, a 33-year-old woman swimming with two royal pythons was ordered home by police after a public report. <\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 5, before 5:00 PM at the “S\u0142oneczko” bathing area by Lake Bugaj in Piotrk\u00f3w Trybunalski, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Voivodeship. A visitor reported to the police that a 33-year-old woman was swimming with two ball pythons wrapped around her neck.<\/p>\n
When a patrol from the Police Preventive Unit in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a arrived, the woman was still on the beach with the reptiles. The 33-year-old had adopted the animals about half a year earlier. To ensure the safety of beachgoers and the animals, officers instructed her to take the pythons home.<\/p>\n
The officers escorted the woman home, where she placed the snakes into terrariums and showed the relevant documents. However, the officers noted that she had failed to register the animals with the District Office (Staroststwo Powiatowe), violating nature conservation regulations which carry a penalty of arrest or a fine.<\/p>\n
Junior Aspirant Edyta Daroch of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Piotrk\u00f3w Trybunalski explained that under Article 64 of the Nature Conservation Act, owners of certain exotic species\u2014including ball pythons\u2014must register them in writing within 14 days of acquisition, and failure to do so carries legal consequences.<\/p>\n
In an official statement, the police reminded the public that owning exotic animals entails responsibility and requires owners to ensure they pose no threat. Even friendly animals can cause distress to others, and public transport requires proper conditions to prevent the animal from feeling anxious, escaping, or turning aggressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
