I did educate her on snakes some and she warmed up a little but a lot of people are just scared because of things they hear and not really knowing the truth. Stupid television!
Also i agree the media is ridiculous they make these animals look very bad , and feed off this crap. u never see on the tv head lines "bunny rabbit gives 7 year old rabies" but i bet it happens just nobody thinks of a bunny rabbit as a blood thirsty killer so it doenst make the head lines
