David903, I disagree. Many people like snakes and view them as part of the natural environment just like anything else.
We learn so much here on the Pond Boss forum about so many things beyond just fish. One of the most important things we learn is judgement and perspective. That is when to do something and when not to do it. Sometimes we should harvest a certain size of LMB heavily. Other times, that is the worst thing we could do.
There are so many species of snakes that do so much good that it is a huge waste to destroy them. In terms of judgement and perspective, about 5-6 people die of snake bites each year. About 50,000 people die in traffic accidents. If we're really concerned about our safety, snakes are the least of our problems.
