"Rattle snakes and coyotes rarely get a pass when we cross paths"
This is a common sentiment in Texas and many other Western states.
If a person grows up in a city and does not hunt or fish, he /she may say "oh, do not hurt the little snake", but if the opposite, all poisonous snakes are just problems waiting to happen. Ditto for scorpions and a few other of God's less popular creatures!
Too many campfire tales to tell now, but those that have "been there done that" know of what I speak.
