Well... while I don't approve of killing the cobra, I have some sympathy for your cousin's viewpoint.

Few people in the so-called First World have any idea what it is like for people who have to co-exist with venomous snakes in tropical countries. I have certainly found again and again, often to my discomfort, that it is not at all difficult to find people who have lost relatives to snakebite snakebite in the tropics, without even looking. The views of a snake-loving foreigner don't always go down too well in those circles.

Cheers,

Wolfgang
