>>Here's your picture Jack, nothing fake about me. In this world "THE REAL WORLD" it's kill or be killed. I have no problem not coming to this forum, I lived in the real world for 47 years without it, and I'll live another 47 without it.

Ask yourself this: if you went to a site for bunny breeders and fans, how would you react to a post from someone who said they'd found a rabbit eating the carrots they'd been growing, so they beat it to death? And then posted a picture of it? Is it possible you'd urge them to fence their garden better, and to not kill the animals in the future?

I sympathize that you were frightened and i understand that that can alter our judgment. You may be (I hope) the kind of person who walking in the woods wouldn't even consider killing a snake of any kind, rattler included. I hope that for the next 47 years you can appreciate the "don't kill 'em" approach, to snakes as well as bunnies in the real world.
