Spot on Geno......
The only "ignorant" one in this conversation is VarminyGay when he says not killing every rattler you see makes you personally responsible if said snke bites someone at a later date.....
I take that back.....it's not ignorant....it's f*cking stupid....
Varmintgay tried that argument on me years ago. Said if I let a snake go and it bit a sacred child, then I was directly to blame.
I told him if thats the case,
I should pull over every stupid driver I see, drag them from their car and shoot them. They kill a LOT more children than snakes. Even though I try to convince my wife this is a good idea, not only for the children, but, becuase they are a direct threat to my life and hers, (not to mention the property damage they do to some folks sacred vehicles
) ............. she won't let me.

Snake lives matter,
