Bruges (Brussels Morning Newspaper): Bruges police responded to a report of a snake trapped in a glass jar near a recycling bin. The snake was found rolled up inside, with foam visible, raising concerns about illegal dumping. Authorities are investigating the incident to identify the snake’s owner and confirm its condition.

On the 18th of  November, Bruges police received a report about a strange and alarming sight near a glass recycling bin a snake trapped inside a glass jar. According to Lien Depoorter, a spokesperson for the Bruges police, the snake was tightly rolled up inside the jar, which had been discarded near the collection site. The foam was visible inside the jar, adding to the unsettling nature of the discovery.

Who disposed of the snake found in a jar near Bruges recycling bin?

When the police arrived, they discovered the glass jar containing the snake next to the recycling bin. The jar was not opened during the initial response. This situation raised concerns about whether the snake was intentionally or carelessly disposed of, prompting authorities to conduct a further investigation.

The snake might have been killed, but that isn’t confirmed yet. A company that deals with dead animals will take it away, and the police are investigating. They want to find out who owned the snake, as this is illegal dumping, and it might also be against the law to keep it, although they still need to identify the snake’s type.
