"Loss of habitat and declining numbers landed two venomous snake species on N.C.’s endangered species list in 2001. Two additional venomous and four nonvenomous species are classified as N.C. “species of Special Concern” for the same reasons. These designations make it illegal to collect the snakes without a permit. Killing them is allowed only when they pose a clear and imminent threat to health and safety. All plants and animals are protected within the boundaries of national and state parks, as well as in some other nature preserves and sanctuaries."
The two endangered are the Eastern Diamondback and the Coral snake.
Venomous snakes kill people and were it up to me I'd destroy 10,000 snakes to save the life of one child. Natural selection "being as some seem inclined that way" dictates that we remove threats or become endangered ourselves.
hypocrisy is seeing the Orkin man at the home of the head of PETA ROFLOL
