Unfortunately, people still kill snakes every day, however it becomes another issue when a newspaper glorifies such actions. If you feel so inclined, respectfully let the editor of the Page News and Courier, Randy Arrington -editor@pagenewspaper know what you think.

I'm not at all surprised to see that the news article is from Va.I grew up in the coal fields of W.Va. & all my life I read about how farmers love to see snakes because they are rodent eaters.I moved to Lunenburg Cty. Va. in 1981.Guess what?About 99% of the people in this area kill anything that moves.The only people I've met that were educated about snakes came from somewhere else. Thanks!, jeff
