This x infinity. I couldn't associate with such people either.

*agrees* good job, wow, such stupid people....

Reason i prefer fur friends to human friends.

These pathetic excuse for a lifeform just make me wanna say Fuck it all.

SAY WHAT!!!!!!!!!! You know I'm not a fan of snakes and other dangerous animals, but that doesn't mean that I would purposely kill it because it scares me. I am of the belief, if it is not hurting me, I won't hurt it.

After I called them out and said it didnt deserve to die they tried to back up themselves with saying "Oh it was being eaten by ants" and "It had gotten ran over by a lawn mower". So they tried to say they were putting it out of its misery. Now...why...would you take a photo of such a thing..and THEN comment with "I smashed its head in like a boss!" ((yep exact words)) and then saying how bad they were scared of it. Im not stupid. I could see the pic. The snake had its head raised up looking at this person. =/

I honestly don't know. I'd call it lack of proper teaching by their parents and just being plain mean idiots.

some people need a slap >:/ honestly don't understand what's going through their heads

Me either. Or maybe I should follow their logic and hit them upside the head with a rock.

God, I saw a post like this the other day, someone proudly proclaiming that they'd bludgeoned a poor rat to death purely because it had gotten into their house late at night. For christ's sake, how hard would it be to catch it and put it outside? How hard? I don't understand how people can be so cruel and laugh it off as if it were nothing. I would never kill any animal just because I didn't like it or found it scary. Spiders freak me out, but I still pick them up and put them outside.

You did the right thing, I certainly wouldn't want to associate with someone like that either. That's borderline fucking serial killer psychology, first it's the little animals...

I highly respect those who are afraid of animals, but take the time to learn about and respect those animals other than screaming and running for the nearest shovel/shoe/whatever.

You've definitely taught me a lot of respect for spiders ;p

In 2003 I found a huge snake by my back porch, It scared the shit out of me, I learned after I had killed it that it was not the cottonmouth I thought, but a huge tho non-venomous ratsnake. I felt awful for killing it so have now taught myself to know what snake is what. I will even swerve around a venomous one if hes not near any houses people. Im still scared to death of snakes but they serve a purpose so I let them be.

Now let's see how long it takes to get through to society that even dangerous animals, including venomous snakes, deserve to live.
It's good that you've learned from mistakes so don't think I'm attacking you. Just making the point that venomous snakes are just as important to the ecosystem as any other animal.

Ive not killed any snake since. In fact we(hubby and I) found a copperhead near the wheelchair ramp to our temple, He tried to save it and move it to the woods but one of the guys killed it before he could get to it. Theres a little decorative water feature(technically a 50ft long manmade creek) under the ramp so Im sure it was there after the frogs and fish. Theres a 3ft watersnake that lives in the koi pond around the other side of the temple, no one bothers him tho.

People make mistakes. Learning from them is the good thing. I'm sure you didn't log on facebook right after ((with pictures of it alive first no less)) and boast about how epic you were for smashing it's brains in. ((not saying you smashed its brains in, but that is pretty much what this person was bragging about.))

I wonder how these people even manage to live their lives, thinking every [bull snake/pine snake/gopher snake/hognose] is a DEADLY RATTLER OUT FOR THE BLOOD OF THEIR CHILDREN. If you're that scared of something, wouldn't you, IDK, learn how to correctly identify it? Or how to safely get it removed from your property? (Protip: drunk guy with a shovel is not a good method.)

Rargh. Don't even get me started on spiders: I think I'm going to pistol-whip the next person who tells me their cousin's hairdresser's dog trainer's pizza delivery guy liek totally died of a brown recluse bite.

There is indeed a reason why it is called the brown RECLUSE spider. But then, in a country where people think picking up a magazine and skimming is reading, I'm not sure I'm too surprised that they don't know what that word means. :/

We unfortunately live in a culture where if you can't pull it up in point 2 seconds on your smartphone, it's not worth knowing. Why would they take the time to know the differences between snakes, or spiders? I mean - these are the same people who can tell you a breakdown of every lipid in your food, but couldn't tell you that letting their children get dirty builds immunity to disease for all that it causes it.

Suburbia. It's everywhere.

I cannot begin to tell you how many 'BROWN RECLUSE' comments I have gotten on pictures. Because they are small and brown. Well..I have news...there aren't very many yellow and purple polka-dotted spiders out there. Most of them are infact BROWN.

>:( Well cut me ddry and slap me silly are you kidding me? There are much better, let alone humane ways to deal with such things (heck it even spelled using human).

What douches :(

I totally understand your deleting these people from FB. I would do the same. I love rats. That should come as no surprise. Smash up rats, and we're friends no more.

Oooh everyone already knows they can't be cruel about rats to me at all or they get kicked automatically. Now its true for snakes also because I have those as pets too. Its just...horrid.
