Den site destroyed - all snakes killed

One of the people on my road (about 4 houses up) stumbled upon a den site yesterday of garters. Juvies and adults. Her and her husband killed almost 100 snakes. They had a garbage bag full of dead snakes this morning. They actually thought that by showing this to me, I would give them a pat on the back and say great job. What morons.
When I asked them why they would do something so terrible, the response was, the snakes were growling at them, trying to kill them, and chasing them into the house. I said why didn't you call me or walk down the road and I would have relocated them (they know I do it since other neighbors have asked for relocations). Their reasoning was they didn't want them to come back and try and kill their kids.
I really hate people like this. Snakes do not growl. They will not chase you into your house. And above all, they will NOT come back for revenge.
The other neighbors now think the better way to deal with snakes is to kill them on the spot rather than relocate them. This way they will never return.
I really wish there was an animal cruelty law that could be used. I called the state officials today and was told since it was not a timber rattler, and I didn't witness it, there was nothing they could do about it.
WTH. Doesn't anyone care that hundreds of snakes were just butchered out of ingnorance and fear?
This really ticked me off today. I never really cared too much for these people but now I despise them.
My other neighbors are not much better.
The new motto is kill the snakes instead of relocating them.

They have undone in one day what took me years to try and drill into my neighbors heads.

Don't kill them. Leave them alone or see me and I will remove them.

That really upsets me. Two grown people... I can just imagine it... They must be some real toothless hillbillys.

grrrrrrrrrr......
You should write on Microsoft word that if you kill a garter snake that its parrents will come back to kill them...
and print it out and make it seem like its a scientific report or some thing.
maybe the murders will be dumb enough to believe it........:main_evilgrin:

It is really hard to believe with all of the shows on TV about animals, conservation, what's poisonous and what's not, and STILL there are people with no clue.

A while back, a friend of mine caught a garter snake and had it for about a week. After the week I asked him what he was feeding it, (I assumed he knew) he said GRASS. I wanted to throw a brick to the back of his head, Oooh I was so MAD! GRASS! He let it go of course.:D

Very sad. People are definitely ignorant though. I agree with putting them in garbage bags.
