I remember watching a show on venomous snakes, back when they were all about education and not sensationalism, and they showed a guy who caught a venomous snake and put it in a glass tank to show his friends. He got bit by the snake, and got sent to the hospital while his friends stayed back and lit the snake on fire. They didn't know that the doctors needed to know what kind of snake it was in order to administer the proper antivenom. They sent some people to the guy's house to find out what kind of snake it was, but it had been burned so badly that the pattern and skin were too deformed to identify the snake. The guy died. I guess the lessons to be learned are 1) respect wildlife and 2) lack of knowledge resulted in the death of the poor dude..
Edit: i saw that episode when I was in the early years of high school and it really helps me explain how knowledge and information about the living things we share this planet with is extremely important to conserving them and US.
