        Cobra effect:

        Cobras all over India, so government is like 'bring dead cobra, I gief moni". People are smart and breed cobras in their barn to collect more bounties. Government is like “you cheated, no fair. no more moni for cobra head”. People release all bred cobras into the wild. Result: even more cobras in India.

          Oof. Why didn’t the people who had cobras just kill them instead of releasing them? Idk, I just imagine I’d rather not have a bunch of cobras outside where I lived?

          Like, I guess they could have driven them somewhere farther away to release them, but at that point wouldn’t it be less work to kill them?

          I mean unless it was just to spite the government (or convince them to start paying for cobras again), but that seems unlikely lol
