Man provokes giant anaconda in his kitchen & we have a lot of questions

Man provokes giant anaconda in his kitchen & we have a lot of questions
26 February 2016

Sometimes, the only pertinent question is: WHY GOD, WHY?

A Brazilian man has gone viral on the internet after filming himself finding a giant anaconda asleep in his kitchen and doing the sensible thing: running away.

Oh no, hang on, that's not what he did. No, in his infinite wisdom, he decided to pat the massive snake - the largest type of snake in the world by weight - which was clearly quite content and snoozing away, not wishing to be disturbed - with predictable results.

Several questions:

How does an anaconda end up in a man's kitchen?

Is this normal?

Why would you pat it - would you at least not use a stick?

Why did God create such a creature?

If someone could get back to us on all these, that would be much appreciated.
