    Re: A Brutal End

    What a very nice thing to say. Thank you.
    I try to do what I can and what I should. A few months ago a member(Mustang) if I remember correctly said I should advertise the fact I remove/rescue garter snakes. That has always been an idea I've had. The problem is I have no place to keep 10,000+ radixes and if I did what would I do with them. I couldn't afford to feed or house them. Where would I release them that wouldn't upset the nature in that area.
    Unfortunately, The world they live in is mainly against them and in the face of those great odds they thrive and multiply. The best I can do is open my house to the few I can help and give them a good life. In return I learn so much about them and admire them for what they are.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Steve,

    That's all we can ask of ourselves.

    Re: A Brutal End

    Same thing happened to me few years ago in a sanctuary* the guy kill a gravid garter snake right in front of his son and he told him snake don't deserve to live and this only few seconds after to get out of their car.

    I took few minutes to tell his son ....do you want me to show you another bad exemple ....Do you want me to do the same thing to your dad???
    I was very mad!But I tell to the dad ,you don't deserve to take a walk in a sanctuary go take a walk somewhere else but not here and I drive him to his car ...He was lucky ....needless to say ....

    Hope his son learn something on that day.....
