While I appreciate the sentiment you are expressing about education, I think people have a right to feel comfortable in their homes and yards. This is particularly true of parents with young children.

I don't like that people kill snakes out of ignorance, but I don't think I have the right to tell them they should live in fear of one of their children being injured. Yes, education is a better answer in the long term, but it wasn't an option at the moment this snake was found. My particular beef here was that the snake was allowed to suffer unnecessarily.
