New Delhi, July 16 -- Summary Snakes, a Schedule I species, are being 'abused' by social media influencers on 'rescue' videos

The videos showing snakes being 'rescued' are purely for monetary gains, say experts

This is a type of 'new age hunting', as snakes are removed from one place to another

Experts have called for scrutiny and punishing these 'influencers/rescuers' for torture of animals and violation of the Wild Life (Protection) Act

Kamal Choudhary claims to be a snake rescuer. On his YouTube Channel is the video of a snake trapped in a milk container. In the video, Choudhary narrates how the snake's poison has changed the milk's colour.

Eventually, the snake is removed as part of a successful 'rescue effort' by Choudhary.
