People Killing snakes

I don't disagree with what you say, they can carry leprosy. I'm not sure how destructive they are.

Seriously, when is the last time you heard of anyone dying because of an armadillo, or needed immediate hospital attention after an encounter? When is the last time you've read about an armadillo attack? And who in America gets leprosy anyway?

CNN reports only about 150 ppl in the US get it, and that's only after international travel.

How many people in the US do you hear about getting rabies? Just because it rarely happens doesn't dismiss it as a valid concern.
