OK I guess you are right...humans are dumb and need to die a slow painful death due to a venemous snakebite!!!!!!!!

some humans.. yep..

[BiggBaddWolf]

Well that is the way with everything...like wolves, buffalo, bear, I guess just about any wild animal...

shooting a wolf for going after your household pet dog or your cattle is one thing.

pinning a snake down and cutting its head off with a knife when hes not even anywhere close to biting someone is a completely different story.

Ohhhhhhhh yeah I forgot that snakes dont bite dogs, or cattle...How silly of me to let that slip my mind...

Lmao. Did You even read the whole thread? Your 7 times more Likely to be struck by lightning then killed by a snake. Why don't you worry about something real and leave wild animals alone.
"hu yuck, dat dere snake near ma cattle. *spits* neva mind a experienced farmer like ma self. Ima just kill it"
you serious? You live on a >farm< and you would still kill these snakes?

Maybe the answer is just training. Teach these people how to properly deal with venomous snakes. Like the one user said (sorry I forget who it was) they teach thre kids to get the ball with a broom and such.

This is ridiculous. How many times have you been charged by your bulls? You know the odds are more in your favour for being killed that way then by the snake you killed?

Oh wait, I'm sorry, you know the bulls dangerous and you stay away from it right?

I didnt bring up the BS about cattle, but yes come to think of it I do stay away from bulls!!!!!!

Anyway this conversation has been fun to say the least!!! And in the end I do agree the guy SHOULD BE LOCKED UP...at the very least, but I am thinking more like executed in the electric chair, or maybe lethal injection!!!

Comon dude it's a valid debate. I don't agree he should be locked up but definately should be some type of punishment. A fine or something.
But seriously you don't agree that people who live on farms that are also home to venomous snakes should continue with there ignorance?
I think they should try there best to understand what to do with them. I guess you could call it karma though when your barn gets infested with rats and mice and you end up with urine all over your feed...?
Not looking to argue just looking to help.

But please next time you find a snake in your field, avoid the bull, and call someone to come relocate it for you. Don't kill it...

I've never been charged by any of my animals. Males that show aggression towards me are either promptly sold or castrated. Sometimes both. I have no tolerance for my animals being aggressive. Perhaps this is why I can go out and handle my male animals during the peak of breeding season when they should be at their most aggressive.

Since several people had said that those who kill snakes should be put in jail/killed..Come get me. I'm sure a judge would find your reasons laughable.
