On the other hand, I know people who have snakes as pets. When I was a kid my older brother had a couple of snakes as pets.
They were neat to watch, but they didn't fetch balls or do any other tricks.

Re: Legislative Protection for Shooting Snakes In Public
I think that some people just have Ophidiophobia [snake phobia]. I don't know if this a DSM disorder or if it has a treatment. Many people that I know who fear snakes have never had a bad experience, they just really really are afraid of snakes.

This is what we need. The letters are over one inch, but this sign needs the Spanish language to fully comply!

Re: Legislative Protection for Shooting Snakes In Public
All of the listed animals are mammals.AlaskanInTexas wrote:Section 822.101 lists the following as dangerous animals: lion, tiger, ocelot, cougar, leopard, cheetah, jaguar, bobcat, lynx, serval, caracal, hyena, bear, coyote, jackal, baboon, chimpanzee, orangutan, gorilla, or any hybrid of the foregoing.
Noticeably missing from the list is venomous snakes. I know we have some ophiophilists among us who don't think this will ever be necessary, but I would sure support some legislation this next session that would protect me from prosecution should I find myself in a situation where I need to dispatch a venomous snake in a public place. I think that is a much more likely scenario than encountering a gorilla or tiger.
