Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Vince, you made some very asinine comments. You dug your own hole.
I am aware that nuisance gators are killed occasionally but usually not on the "first offence". They are usually relocated as most have just lost their way. Living in Florida as you stated most people are WELL aware of the wildlife and what dangers are in it. Wouldn't it be grand if others in other areas did the same thing?
In an earlier post you said "those kids COULD have been killed"
The operative word there is COULD. They weren't, so why kill the snake for just being a snake? Ignorance is far to often used as an excuse in these situations. Perhaps if more people educated themselves to the their own environment and what animals share it with them, there would be less cases of this sort of thing.

oh that's original. why not give some reason why it is so ignorant to kill a deadly snake that is so close to your home and is around your family? By no means this is a battle of wits, if you think it is well then you think to highly of your self.

You are right Vince, this is by no means a battle of wits. I would have to have some competition first.

yes it would be grand. It is a shame people are uneducated on how to deal with nuisance animals.
yes, could, thanks for pointing that out. I believe human life > a snakes life

Ok then Vince, what makes it ok to kill a rattlesnake when avoiding it would be just as effective? Killing snakes on site is detrimental to the environment and food chain.

OMG...................... Many, many reasons were given already on why or how the life of that snake could have possibly been spared.
Let me break out the Crayola's and draw you a map.
#1. Once the children were removed from the situation the snake posed no harm to anyone.
#2. A simple phone call could have removed the snake to a more suitable location.
#3. If the person who killed the snake would have been more educated about the snake and their surroundings the snake would have probably been spared.
#4. Vince, I would stay inside today because there is a big scary world out there with dangers around every corner. And you can't legally kill everything.
#5. When the Avon lady rings the bell. Please don't kill her, although she's a nuisance she's just trying to make a living.

A rattle snake that encroaches on a home it becomes a deadly pest. When it is not safe to trap the animal extermination may be required and may prevent injury or even loss of life.

How do you know this for sure, it is just your opinion.
#2. A simple phone call could have removed the snake to a more suitable location.
To who? Do you know the extent of wild animal removal service in that area?
#3. If the person who killed the snake would have been more educated about the snake and their surroundings the snake would have probably been spared.
Maybe he was educated about the threat this snake could impose.
#4. Vince, I would stay inside today because there is a big scary world out there with dangers around every corner. And you can't legally kill everything.
This is another genric statment with no meaning. But you can legally kill a venomous snake that posses a threat.
#5. When the Avon lady rings the bell. Please don't kill her, although she's a nuisance she's just trying to make a living.
