New headline: Rattlesnake Bites Drunk Dumbaxx
I should have been more precise...I intended that message be conveyed to native democrats migrating from blue states and bringing their filthy left wing politics with them. The ones coming north from Mexico and Central America are well aware of poisonous snakes!
You don’t pick up a venomous snake or spray them away with a garden hose that are near your house. You kill them with a long stick or shoot them.
“...and a humane storage bucket...”
He should’ve used a humane shovel to remove it’s head.
These are the people that got eaten by cave bears.
Did the rattlesnake die after biting him. Or at least get sick?
Thank you for that reference. I was not aware of that firm and now I want to look at two of their guns.
I kind of sympathize with the snake; he had good reason to be p!ssed off.
On a more serious note, I saw a tv show about a doc who treated snakebites out west, and he repeatedly remarked on how nasty those west coast rattlers are. They run smaller than diamondbacks and carry a more toxic and complex venom, often neurotoxic. They are more dangerous than people realize. It seems nobody bitten by any kind of rattlesnake avoids a severe penalty; they all wind up with considerably less than they started out with.
I can imagine myself thinking the same thing this guy was thinking: "well I better toss this little bastard out and away from the kids..." It's good to be reminded.
Biden: shoot him in the leg
But when it comes to dealing with rattlesnakes or other dangerous reptiles, Animal Services Commander Chris Mayer warned the public against using items such as cooking utensils to remove them.
Thank you Commander!
A hold my join moment
Back in the ‘60s my kids came in yelling there was a “rattler” coiled up in the bushes (new-development in CA). Dad grabs his Ruger Single Six, finds the snake - it IS a rattler - and at five feet takes careful aim at the head - and misses. Emptied the revolver and only wounded it. Finally got a shovel and chopped the head off.
What really impressed me is that when I picked up the squirming body, it felt like I held a living wire cable. That sucker was TOUGH.
The real danger of a rattlesnake bite is the anti-venom...costs like 50K, not covered by insurance.
One of the reasons I left CA
Whoa! Was that for YOU? I knew the anti-venom was insanely expensive, but that bill is higher than I ever imagined...
It's a WEENER!!!
It’s odd the snake stayed there for you to get the shovel Strange.
This reminds me that I had fried rattlesnake as a six-year old, and I loved it.
