And venomous snakes is nothing like dihydrogen monoxide (H2O - yeah, funny). Venomous snakes are a REAL threat. We have wild turkeys running around the neighborhood as well and nobody has ever gotten bit by them.
Deer, squirrels and turkeys crossing the road is a REAL threat too. So are any wild animals. So is being hammered in the head by icicles. (You a water enthusiast or something? )

Mosquitos are real threat, they spread malaria. Birds spread around the asian flu. Cows make us mad!

Sure sounds like everyone here believes that if the animal can kill you, it should be killed.

Is that why all the big warm blooded carnivores are either gone, or in severe decline?



I'm not a peta advocate in disguise, but I still don't see a reason to kill any animal because you came across it and it might hurt you or your wee little kittens.

I will say that over and over, no matter how often you bring up the "kids are in danger and always come first" bull hooky. I will remain stubborn on that fact, because someone has to.
