Jane, <<<have never seen a living thing in the creation I didn't like, rattlesnakes included. They are very, very gentle and just WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.>>> You for sure can have all the rattlesnakes you want. I'll bag some up for you if you want. gggg ...I have very little love for the nasty things. I've stepped on my fair share of them in my life in the field, but my boots always protected me. Come on down for the Sweetwater Rattlesnake roundup sometime and try some fried rattlesnake...tastes just like chicken...yeah right....lol Anyway...couldn't resist the comment. Regards, Paul

<I have never seen a living thing in the creation I didn't like,> But this is not true, Jane. You repeatedly state just the opposite. Or, are certain living things not a part of creation? Charliss

Many years ago my grandmother, in a fit of dementia, mailed me an alligator from Florida. All the rage that year. Not surprisingly it arrived dead. I cried. My mother did not have the good sense to arrange a little alligator funeral, after which I'd have forgotten about the whole thing. No no. She went out and bought me another one. Yes, they're sorta cute when they're little. But they grow. Allie, as he was called, lived in a laundry tub in the basement, and didn't seem to like it all that much. He ate quite a lot of hamburger and snapped his jaws whenever anyone approached. Not....affectionate. When he was about 3 1/2 feet long my mother, having realized her mistake, called the Zoo. They sent two handlers, with hooks and gloves, to take him away. I'm sure he was much happier and better natured once free of the laundry tub.
