Didn’t believe this and thought I would deboonk it. Turns out reptiles as an entire group only kill 5-6 people per year in America. I thought for sure that gators/crocs in swamplands were killing a hundred people every year.

>>5166727
Gators are chill animals. They don't deliberately go out there way to actively hunt people or large prey.

>>5166727
gators are extremely docile, this isnt africa, where everything has to contend with hippos, or australia, like sure dont be an 80 year old, or a dog, or drunk near the water, but they cant do anything if youre just aware. if anything standing tall freaks them the fuck out and they run. you have to go out of your way and be enfeebled to get killed by a gator, compared to something like a bear or a mountain lion where youre just fucked.
and if anything those deaths are probably from some retards fucking around with a rattlesnake intentionally for tiktok or something, because snakes are very reluctant to strike, let alone envenom someone. theyre more than content to just sit there and not let their presence be known, so you have to be wanting for that darwin award
>>
>>5166727
99% of reptiles, even large predatory ones will leave you alone if you leave them alone or steer clear. Very little are as nearly as dangerous to be around than large mammalian predators or the basic shitbull.
>>
>>5166881
youre fucking stupid. just another braindead moron who learned to hate pitbulls from dogsbite.org, which is run by a psychotic jew con artist spouting fake facts and figures that she pulled out of her ass. i kill poisonous snakes on sight and you cant do anything about it, scalenigger. pitbulls are the master race.

Based. But since we're talking about reptiles: what's wrong with this slow worm I found in my garden? It didn't have eyes and it appeared to have had only bone of its upper jaw exposed. Genetic or bad molt/infection?

I use the snake argument to justify pattern-recognition (some retards call this "racism")

Nobody has ever been able to factually refute this beyond "racism hurts the feelings of shit-colored people"

Lizards, Snakes, Turtles and Crocodiles don't go out there way to permanently disfigure toddlers out of nowhere. Shitbulls and other fundamentally violent shitmutts need to be culled and euthanized to extinction.

Blah blah, boo hoo, I see a snake I'm mulching the slimy poisonous little fuck with my mower. Cry about it scalefags.
>>
>>5166538
It's another "sharks are less dangerous than dogs" episode (including rabies cases in india)

You are unintelligent and I'm not explaining why
>>
>>5166538
We're mammals so we show a stronger affinity to other mammals. We probably have a genetic fear of snakes cause they can kill us. When we were evolving all it took was one venomous snake to pop out and we were dead, so it's probably imprinted in our dna to be scared of them
>>
>>5167288
Its not it is 100% learned behavior same with spiders. If your a baby and you see your mom overreacting like a woman does to a bug or snake the screeching traumatizes you and you associate it with the animal. The starbust shape and hypnotic eye memes are copes pussies made up to explain why they cant just do an afternoon of exposure therapy and get over it
>>
>>5167294
>w-why don't you just go to therapy to train yourself to love snakes???
lmao no thank you i think i'll just continue killing snakes

That would require you to go actually outside

>>5167317
correcting me with what, your baseless headcanon that instinctive fears don't exist?
sorry bud but that's complete nosense
every animal displays instinctive behaviors
there are simply too many things that can easily kill you for you to be expected to deal with every one via learned behavior
you would be dead long before you came close to learning about every potential deadly threat

chopped up 3 (that i noticed) when i was mowing the grass last week
my monke ancestors who died from snake bites are looking down on me with pride every time i avenge their deaths by exterminating soulless cold blooded monsters

I'll kill rattlesnakes on sight if I have anything handy to kill them with. All other snakes get a free pass.
>>
>>5167217
>(including rabies cases in india)
How does this argument apply? Indians get killed by venomous snakes and crocodiles in the tends of thousands. So I could just as well argue that hating reptiles is Indian-coded.

Tell that to little Tiffany after she loses a hand to necrosis because a rattlesnake was curled up under her bicycle when she grabbed it.
People cite low death rates from venomous snake bites but glaze over all the lost fingers and hands.
Imagine grandma and her failing eyesight walking out to her car after Thanksgiving dinner and stepping on a 5 foot timber rattler. What do you think is going to happen? Are you going to mention leaving that snake you encountered 2 days ago alone because "it wasnt bothering anybody" at grandma's funeral?
If you didnt live in an apartment and you encountered wildlife on a regular basis you'd understand.
>pic related. Working on a jacket. I think i have 13- i figure i need 2 more 5 footers.
>>
>5167586
They do everything they possibly can to warn you they're there. They even try to get away before biting most of the time. And often they don't envenomate, they dry bite, because venom is very costly to make. You're just a scared brown and/or a psychopath who wants to hurt animals but is too big a pussy to go after animals that aren't socially acceptable to kill. I hope you break an ankle in the woods and die of exposure you hysterical faggot.
>>

>People cite low death rates from venomous snake bites but glaze over all the lost fingers and hands.
Dog bites cause hundreds of thousands of people to seek medical treatment per year. Just in the US. Similarly, cat scratch diseases lead tens of thousands of people to seek treatment.
They don't even log how many mini cockapoos and doodles get eaten alive and ultimately killed by the ear cropped pittie princess down the street. I would put money on many thousands of people getting their dogs killed by out of control pitbulls every year.

Ahh this AI wive's tale trash again.
Majority of bites are envenomated. Young snakes will even dump their entire venom sack into a person.

Theres a major difference between hiking through a national park and coming across a rattlesnake living 50 miles from the nearest house and finding one in your front yard. A rattlesnake can smell the difference between a human being in the area 1 day ago or 5 days ago. If one is found in an area with constant human presence then it is more than just a nuisance animal, its dangerous because it no longer fears humans- no different than a rabid coyote.

Stay in your lane apartment dweller, maybe you'll get out of life with all your digits intact.

>whataboutism
So I should walk around with an umbrella during a thunderstorm because more people are killed by car crashes than lightning strikes?
>>
>>5168819
It's not "whataboutism" when the point of the thread is that an intense fear/hatred of reptiles is not justifiable if you're looking at the statistics.
>I should walk around with an umbrella during a thunderstorm because more people are killed by car crashes than lightning strikes?
No, you should just leave reptiles the fuck alone. Because they will leave you alone.

A rattlesnake killed my cat.
Ill kill every one that I find and theres nothing you can do about it.
Perfectly legal in my state, I dont even need a hunting license to blow their heads off.
>>
>>5168928
Your cat shouldn't been outside unsupervised in the first place. That snake probably did a huge favor for a whole generation of birds and other native creatures.

that fact that have you have look which states you can kill rattlesnakes means you are some retarded, yuppie larper

Where? On my property I'll kill them and any other nuisance species if I want to.
>>
>>5169071
What kind of retarded ass faggot mindset is this?!
Of course ive looked up what states you can kill rattlesnakes in.
If I go visit a friend in upstate New York I know that timber rattlesnakes are protected. Killing one is illegal. And thats called fucking POACHING.

Sit your ass down and shut the fuck up urbanite.

Either top middle or middle right is how they look in West Virginia. Dark as hell.

>>5169105
I'd kinda like to have some boulders in my backyard for that. Get some buddies showing up.
Been getting worm snakes and rough earth snakes, but not seeing much else. A black rat showed up, but he was full of some food so I didn't mess with him so he wouldn't puke.

Georgia is top right or bottom left depending on where within the state you are.

Killed another rattlesnake last night. Fucker was trying to slither up next to me while working on a tractor. Not today pal.

>>5168928
Kill all of them, it won't bring your cat back :)

No rattlesnakes left to kill. I have to find them on friend's properties now.

no, venomous snakes are not harmless. Even pet venomous snakes are always somewhat unpredictable. The same kind of people who like handling venomous snakes also like pit bulls and other stupid reckless alt masculine shit

if you had it in your hand long enough for it to drink sweat why didnt you simply let it outside
also some people are very allergic to bees and could die if they get stung, and based on your posting style i doubt you know anything about your coworkers beyond a vague idea of what they look like so i wouldnt trust you to know about that

Poorly phrased, that's just my usual encounters with them, not that specific instance
I'm deathly vulnerable to bleach but as long as i don't chug it i'll be fine. Bees are similarly situationally dangerous
[spoiler]p.s. while they were congratulating themselves on a job well done, one of them asked her and no she wasn't allergic, she just hated bees[/spoiler]
