Ugh!

Fred just sent me this photo on his cellphone!

Poor snake got run over on the road! I know they're looking for warmth but wish they'd stay out of the road. I do not believe in killing snakes unless they are up by houses and are where people are working, it's senseless even if they are poisonous like this rattle snake. They do a lot of good in keeping mice and rats under control. This one was out in the middle of no where and causing no one any harm!


Photo is kind of gruesome, sorry! but it was a beautiful snake at one time!

I asked Fred why he killed it and he said because he was a Man and could do it but then he came back and said it had been run over before he ever came across it...

We kill rattlesnakes because they bite cattle and sometime they die from the bite or it makes them very sick.

I sorta agree with Paula...the only good rattler is a dead rattler. LOL, no, I don't kill them either unless I find one in the yard but if they venture that close, the fight is on!
