Nature is violent. Always has been, always will be. Those that are offended by a display of Mother Nature’s character cannot truly behold her grandeur.
Driving from Cedarville, Calif on Hwy 299 to I-5 in 1985 in Ford truck, towing horses in large trailer. Eagle swooped down & picked up LARGE LIVE RATTLESNAKE from road & started to fly away. SLOWLY.....
When the eagle cleared the truck, it wasn’t 4 feet from the windshield. All I can still see was the size of that RATTLESNAKE & how I was worried that the whole mess might smash thru the windshield. I HATE SNAKES. Had too many encounters with them while riding.
