It’s a shame some humans behave that way towards creatures . Stating the obvious ,If you have no other option of course but I’ll always live and let live .
Look at it from the snakes point of view , how vulnerable would you feel if a creature 10x your size was hovering over you ?
Sure some creature aren’t on our favourites list but are still a creature on this planet just trying to survive like anything else .
Excuse my kind of rant but I dislike killing anything that could’ve been avoided .
I’d rather shoot something with my camera knowing it’s still out there doing what it does .
You just have to respect the resilience of most of these creatures and the environment they live in . Those crazy Emperor Penguins down Antarctica breeding in Blizzard conditions are truly remarkable . I’ll see if I can find some footage I took of a large Eastern Brown moving over the Sandhills on a trip we took a couple years back . I’ll admit my adrenalin was pumping a bit getting close knowing this reptile has killed hundreds of us Aussies over the years .
Half the things I want as a pet are dangerous to people. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Not sure I'll be able to find a psychiatrist to get my "Emotional Support Jaguar" but the thought HAS crossed my mind a few times. Shit I can cry... Why can't I have a big kitten....
I have no issue with snakes, or spiders really, as long as we leave each other alone it's all good. But at the same time if it harmed someone I care about, well then it's cheaper to feed my Catfish that day. They don't care if it's venomous or not. LOL there's a guy that lives in the South and made a video of him cleaning a baby 6 or 7 pound Blue Catfish (Yes that's a baby size) and when he opened up the stomach, a 4 or 5 foot copper head or cotton mouth fell out of the stomach and onto his cleaning station table, and he FREAKED out and ran. It was dead though of course; after a bit whatever they swallow is done for. Pretty funny though because in my mind thinking like a Catfish "Mmmmm Murder Spaghetti noodle! Nom Nom Nom!* and no more venomous snake on the water LOL.
As for Spiders I generally catch them and toss them outside if I can. If they were huge like in the Kangaroo land though I could always eat it. Basically a land lobster.
Having being raised in Florida...Everything wants to kill ya down there. Sharks, alligators, spiders, snakes, and old fn drivers.
Yeah no I would LOVE to catch a Tarpon, a Bull Shark, and a Gator, but uh, that heat and weather.... Nah LOL.
Hey! Watch your mouth! Some of us like Irish Corn Pops. LOL. Besides, here in the Mitten it's legal; You can buy Jars of Moonshine at almost any liquor store.
LOL one day a guy from California was in the Liquor store standing next to me while I was waiting in line, and he saw all the Moonshine jars, and he said "Man it's so crazy that it's like legal here! I'm from California, and you can't sell this stuff there" and I'm laughing like "We got legal weed too and no Earthquakes" LoL.
