It won't rip it up

I'm so sad anons...I had to kill it to protect my animals. At least I did it quick. Lord forgive me.
>>
>>4847723
you're going to hell where you'll be bit by thousands of rattlesnakes daily with extremely painful venom
>>
>>4847723
You think the snake was just going to hang out in your yard for years? Are you retarded?
>>
>>4847731
You're right I should have just rolled the dice and waited for it maybe kill my fucking dog, my elderly mother, or 6-year-old niece...

It was under my recycling bin and it tried to fucking nip me. It had to go.

You could've just called animal control or moved it, you know

>rat snake becomes rattlesnake
Is this pokemon?
>>
>>4847786
it wasn't a rat snake, it shook its tail and tried to nip me half a dozen times

>>4847785
they would have dispatched it. it was in the middle of a residential neighborhood with kids and dogs, I don't live anywhere near the sticks

I saved my dog's life as far as I am concerned.

Rat snakes shake their tail in leaves to mimic rattlesnakes.

Because people killing animals for the stupidest reasons is not only easy to do, but also entirely believable and with no consequence. Most people treat animal life as worthless.
>>
this snake would have killed me and my entire family given the chance.

I regret nothing.
>>
>>4847709
Try to bite it back, if it shouts out loud it's a girl
>>
Snake? Snaaaaake!
>>
>>4847821
>it shook its tail and tried to nip me half a dozen times
yes, other snakes have been known to imitate rattlesnakes. doesn't mean it's venomous. regardless, killing snakes is fine. they are all beasts of Satan.

Thanks for making this easy and admitting to trolling with >>4847735, will now hide thread <3

Masterful bait

>faggot self-bumping his lame bait thread
Kek!

>>4847716
fuck your dog bitch
>>
OP here, I also decided to kill my dog and get an objectively superior cat, and now that the snake is gone I can let him roam outside.
>>
>>4847716
I dont care if it's a teacup chihuahua puppy with a bone disorder, your dog would ANNIHILATE a ratsnake without even intending to, and the ratsnake wouldnt be able to do a thing to it. Stop being a faggot.
>>
>>4848032
>known to imitate rattlesnakes
the tail shake actually predates the evolution of the rattle, it serves as a distraction/lure when something a foot to the left of the snake suddenly moves through the leaves
>>
>>4847821
Please, PLEASE be bait
>>
OP here again. I have seen the errors of my ways, and to atone for my sins I will become a devout vegan.
