Killing of rattlesnakes occurs where I live on an hourly basis. I saw one last night in the area, the night before, etc etc. All just going to and from the Circle K

There are thousands in are housing areas around here. And about 275 people get bitten a year. The vast majority of bites are very minor, but the bad ones are horrible.

I have had three hot bites, by three species of rattlesnake and all three were very minor, swelling but not much more.

The thought that a snake bite is life threatening is very offbase. Bad bites can be. Bad bites are very rare.

The actual point is, why would a person post that here?????

I think they are intentionally trying to start trouble. and they did. Cheers
