For me................. rattle snakes die.... uncle bit, nearly died, granddad lost several dogs, BIL nearly lost one last month, 4 doses of antivenom($2400)..........

Ecologically sound???? not worried about it much, I think Florida has enough 'other snakes' to fill in the void.............

Feel pretty much the same way about moccasins and copperheads, coral snakes get a pass though.....
