Me and my sister had this conversation the other day... people like that are probable future serial killers, sick, and disgust me.

I can understand killing rats, or snails if you have a garden and they are tearing it apart, but garter snakes are one of the best things you can have in a yard. They stay out of your way for the most part, they are hygienic, and they eat slugs. the worst thing they can do is musk and I never found that at all repelling... I actually got used to it.

eh, its just mammal bigotry... its not fuzzy so people think they can treat it like crap. Poor little things.

Nahhh....I wouldn't say that. Serial killers take huge risks and know they can lose their life or at least their freedom if caught.

Animal killers/abusers do it because there is virtually NO risk. They can be as mean and sadistic as they please with no consequences whatsoever.

If the law does get involved it is a light little slap on the wrist. It isn't just snakes, it is often dogs/cats/etc...
