People are mocking this police warning about a beaver-eating snake

The Silence of the Beaver-eating Snake. Nightmare on Beaver-eating Snake Street. The Texas Beaver-eating snake Massacre. None of these are critically-acclaimed classic horror movies, because up until now no one has taken the threat of beaver-eating snakes seriously. Oh, and also now. No one takes it seriously now.
But they should. Westbrook Maine Police Department recently posted a status warning citizens about a 10ft snake named Wessie who was seen "eating a large mammal, possibly a beaver". They followed this up with two friendly, but fatal words: "not joking".
They might not have been, but the people of the internet certainly are...
