As for doing it in a way that's fairly merciful, I carry diabetic supplies on me a lot; and if there was a stick around, I could draw up a high dosage of insulin and pin one to the ground long enough to do an injection; but hopefully, I'll never be in that position.
You have a really old calendar and you think this is April 1st, right? I can't think of any other reason anyone with any sense would get themselves and a friend far away enough to be safe, then approach the rattler, magnifying the risk to themselves around 1000%, pin it down, and give it insulin to euthanize it when y'all were already safe?

Be sure to carry plenty of insulin so if she then tells you that she feels threatened by you, you'll have enough to do the job JK, but seriously, if her expectation is that you kill anything she finds threatening, find another GF. Now.
