<< even if it's a venomous snake, please don't kill it, unless it
bites you. Snakes have a noble purpose..they kill rodents, which are far
more
dangerous to us and horses with the diseases and fleas they carry (hanta
virus, plague, etc) never mind the damage they do to our feed. I would
rather
have a snake in my barn then rats and mice >>
Well, a good friend of mine got bit by a baby rattler. His whole arm swelled
up and the docs were concerned about it gravitating further, i.e.
lungs/respiratory. He survived after spending a few days in the hospital and
then getting a nasty/itchy rash from the anti-venom. IF, it comes down to
me, my horse, my dogs or the ratttlesnake -- then I would have to say without
hesitation, "I'd kill the snake if it didn't hurry up and slither off." I
really would rather have a dead rattlesnake then a dead dog or vet/doc bill.
Otherwise I really like non-venomous snakes. They are cooool.
Melody - who should get those short rubber (garden hose size) tubes for her
cantle bag - in case my horse gets bit on the nose. Maybe smaller ones for
the dogs.
