Re: Some people...
The other thing that frightens me about this...the steps between squishing a bug, deliberately mowing down a snake, purposely running over a 'possum etc. seem to get smaller to people as they go. I mean, how can anyone not understand that it is absolutely unforgivable to put any living thing in agony? Where do these people stop? History shows us that people who kill people frequently started out abusing other animals. Been a while since I was a student. Do they teach kids about animals at all? Field trips to the petting zoos, assemblies featuring people who care for the less 'cute' species? Kids, whether or not they have been taught to fear animals, at least have a healthy curiosity about things that might make them more likely to adapt.
On the positive side, my husband has encountered several of my snakes lately, and has been able to control his response. Even to the one that he swears is 4' long!
