I was visiting a friend one time when his 10 year old son walked up to show his dad this neat snake he found. It was a copperhead. Fortunately, the kid picked it up right behind the head. The dad calmly told him to hold the snake just like that for a minute, went in the house and came out with a sheath knife. He had the kid hold the snake's head against the ground, and drove the knife through the snake's head pinning it to the ground.
Yeah, lots of folks perpetuate that whole ‘better to kill it than just leave it alone’ myth.
I’ll bet a whole bunch of indigenous people would still be here if.........
So what would you have done in that situation? I imagine you have a lot of experience with poisonous snakes in the Greater Toronto Area, eh?
BTW, your snakes / indigenous people metaphor . . . really?
