Please do not destroy the snakes!
Hello!
You can fear and hate snakes, treat them with disdain or indifference, may be interested in reptiles. But you have no right to kill them. Yes, even if a viper crawled into your yard.
I live surrounded by forests and swamps. There are a lot of vipers and snakes, and a meeting with reptiles is guaranteed, even if you're not a fan of nature walks. They crawl on the garden, plots, into the courtyards of apartment buildings.
Local communities on the Internet was flooded with alarmist message, "The snakes, throw the grass on the children." Everyone who is comfortable with the snakes, know that this is nonsense. They are seen crossing the road viper - create hysteria.
For a man common viper bite is considered to be potentially dangerous, but very rarely fatal. About 70% of those bitten or do not experience any symptoms at all, or feel a burning pain directly in the area of the bite. (Wikipedia)
What for? Why when a person grabs the snake "witty and harder"? The same viper never attack first. It is not in its interests. She upolzet, hide, give her only a minute. Why kill an animal thoughtlessly? To show what I'm cool?
I met Vipers 50 times in my life for sure. The maximum aggression, which I saw in the address, - the adoption of "fighting stance": a raised trunk, assembled like an accordion.
Nobody is going to pursue a man)))
Viper Sting can be for a person the latter only in the case of young age, serious heart problems and allergies to the venom components. Now minute dry statistics: deaths after a bee sting is 3 times more than from snake bites.
By the way, with the vipers are often confused and harmless snakes. Most went Adders. But even destroy their "intention". Understand, you have no right to take the life of a snake just because you do not like.
Instead, you can:
- Banal look at his feet.
- At a meeting with the snake just turn around and leave. This helps in 90% of cases.
- If the snake is hiding in your garden, then stomped his foot. Bing will force uninvited guests go to a quiet place.
- To explain to children how to deal with snakes.
- Attract to the site of hedgehogs - natural enemies. They cope with uninvited guests on the laws of nature, and not because of the stupidity of man.
People have already destroyed hundreds of species of animals that would never set foot on the land of our Planet. Please do not repeat the mistakes of his own fear, hysteria, ignorance and the vain desire to be "King of nature." Snakes can coexist peacefully, and that's a fact.
