When you think about passion, if you like other men, you just think of romantic love between two people. Time to break this concept up to all living creatures and enjoy breaking species boundaries. If we can see how much other animals love life and love others, how we see them could change.
When we see a snake, our natural reaction is to scream and run from the hissing beast as much as possible that we think is poisonous! At the other side, Ratnesh Athiya accepts and enjoys snakes and likes their company.
He coils many of the deadliest snakes like Russel Vipes, Cobra, Common krait around a face. He holds Indian Cobra like a friend, and like a child he kisses the snake.
When he was 18 he born his passion for snakes, trapped a cobra and kept it in its house to observe his behavior is now 25 years old and has rescued more than 50000 snakes.
He not only works to preserve and rescue the species but also spreads awareness among people about snakes and their behavior.
He has dedicated his life towards capturing poisonous snakes from the human-populated areas and then releasing them into their natural habitats. Even though he has no professional training in this field, Ratnesh, purely through his curiosity and love towards the reptiles, has become a “go-to” man when it comes to snakes.
He does not use any equipment to capture the snakes, and mostly does it himself with his hands which have suffered various accidents many times but on the other side, he says love for the animals is more important for me as compared to my life.
