People who are ignorant to certain things such as snakes form an ignorant opinion. I was also very fearful of snakes up until about a year ago so I know how some feel. But someone took the time to educate me and put a snake in my hand and let me see what an awesome creature a snake really is. Now im hooked! So from my own past fearful experience I try to educate people and show them how great snakes are. Thats all you can do, don't get upset with them. Help them, someone took the time to help me so I feel obligated to do the same for others who are where I once was. Im just saying don't judge them as quickly as they judged you.
