Arizona Black Rattlesnake!

[2005jettatdi]

I called the local game and fish office that day to find out how to dispose of the snake. It was already in the garbage can at that point but I wondered if that was okay. She told me to throw it in the garbage.

Even though I was pretty sure it was a Mohave Green she said go ahead and send a picture. She confirmed it.

I've never seen a bear or coyote attack anyone, not that they haven't I've just never heard of it in our area. These snakes on the other hand will bite and kill people. They can't be near people, they are hard to see and easy to step on.

100 % not true. If you can't stand rattlesnakes do not live where rattlesnakes live. Try western Washington or the northern part of western Oregon. Coyotes and bear do in fact track and kill people. Oops, coyotes and bear live in Washington and Oregon. I have $ 100 that says you have never been attacked by a rattlesnake. I live around them and I have never been attacked by one. I do pay attention to where I put my hands and feet.

Venom or poison doesn't matter. All that matters is that if it isn't killed on site the next person that comes along and doesn't see it may be bitten.

Do you also propose killing all other wild animals that people come in contact with? Bears, coyotes, bison, etc.? Because if not, the cognitive dissonance is alive and well. If you do, you should seek professional help.
