Paymaster said:I kill several types of ceatures that I don't eat. Flys, roaches and poisonous snakes. All are pests as far as I am concerned. Especially where we live. There are too many rattlers and a lot of kids that play all over the woods around. I would never kill a non-poisonous snake. But this rattler was coming out of an old widow woman's driveway into the road. Bad choice for him.
I'm with you on killing the skeeters and the flies, as long as you eat them!! Just find a good recipe to cook the snakes after you kill 'em!! I've never tried them but I hear they are good eats!Paymaster said:Larry, I respect ypur opinion and all your points are valid. However, I remain unchanged. I will continue to kill flies, mosquitos,rats and Rattlers.

Well there are bear that live aound here too. So just because they are capable of killing people as you say the snake is, should I go kill it with my truck? You know "just in case"???? People are capable of killing one another too, so maybe the next time I'm in a 4,000 pound vehicle I will run some innocent person over. When the cops ask me why I will just tell him, "well they were capable of killing someone and I didn't want to take a chance". I'm no snake expert, but I do know snakes will avoid encounters with humans as will humans with snakes. Rattlers especially will only strike if snuck up onto or cornered.
Greg, black snakes are not poisonous, I was just trying to make a point that I do not like any kind of snake and I wouldn't kill them just because I don't like them.

Larry, I too belive in killing if you are going to eat 'em; however, when it comes to spiders, snakes, and general infestations, I will kill and not eat. (don't find roaches very appetizing.)
