To be honest, I don't complain when someone kills a snake (although, I will gripe if it's a harmless one. Less griping if it's venomous due to the goats being overly curious critters and yes, I can identify the local snakes). My only complaint is that they didn't skin the snake, gut it, and roast it over a fire. When you're in a survival situation, you kill it, you eat it. Else it's just wasteful.
