Some people's attitudes toward snakes just drive me crazy! And the worst part is, a lot of the time people justify it by saying that they're scared of them (because apparently that logically leads to it being okay to kill them?)..

On the bright side, due to me having several talks with her over the past year, a few days ago my grandmother who is deathly afraid of snakes spent two hours getting a six foot black snake wrapped around a shovel and taking it to the woods to avoid hitting it with her car. It's good to know that you can change some peoples' attitudes toward snakes, even though so many still hate them for no real reason...
