Can't believe the ignorance if some people. I work at PETsMART and I ask people daily why they're afraid of snakes. I never get a straight answer so I tell them they have no reason to be afraid. They say "ewwww" at the mention of them. I say "ewwww" at the dogs and cats that lick their butt holes, but no one is afraid of them. Irritated rant done.
