I grew up working in my folks grocery store. It was in a rural area of the
desert. We routinely killed poisonous snakes for the safety of our
customers. Later when I learned how tasty a rattlsenake is I always deep
fat fcried the larger ones, and of coursed tacked out and dried the skins.
I don't believe in wasting things if I can help it.

I shoot poisonous snakes for the same reasons people pull poison Ivy or
swat
mosquitos... it makes a ton of sense. Mother nature is more than welcome
to
replace them with the non-poisonous variety, and then we can all get along
just fine.

Funny, that's never happened to me here in TX. Of course it's always a
good
idea to boat armed, for snakes and such.
