INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) – Following the frenzy of a 14-foot Burmese python on the loose in Beech Grove, a fan of the funny moment created a petition to change Beech Grove School's athletics mascot from hornets to pythons.
User Kaleb Robinson created a petition on Change.org in honor of the python named Vine Wednesday.
"In light of the popularity and notoriety that "Vine" has gathered, along with the polarizing effect of bringing us all together focusing on a common new found love I propose we change the Beech Grove Hornets, to the Beech Grove Pythons so we can always fondly remember this time we have shared, and Vine can live on forever," wrote Robinson.
Beech Grove residents were warned of the python after it went missing from its home five days ago.
The owner searched for the python three days before going to police.
The petition has a goal of 100 signatures.
