The cobra has its mouth stitched together and its fangs removed before entering "the ring" with the baby, who is being taught to be a revered snakehandler.
The baby in this case was not hurt, but venomous snake fangs grow back quickly. Many people die each year from this.
Perhaps only after the death of a child will these people start to realize that this barbaric practice needs to end.
