So now the UN will try to put the bite on Trump for money for a world-wide snake roundup?

“Venomous” snakes, not “poisonous” snakes.

Why is this a UN priority?
138k deaths is bad and all that but more people die from communism than snake bites every day.

I used to carry a nifty little device called the “Snake Doctor” whenever walking in the bush in Uganda. It was a de-tuned stun gun and of proven worth against neurotoxic and hemotoxic snake bites, as well as spiders, scorpions, wasps, etc.

The FDC raided the little company making these “Snake Doctors”, confiscated all their inventory and shut them down for “selling a medical device without conducting FDA approved clinical trials.”

If the Federal (and State) bureaucrats had any sense or compassion, they would have hooked this litle company up with a medical university to expidiciously conduct trials and issue the FDA seal of approval.

Wondering if the UN will come up with plan for helping snakebite victims while still protecting the poisonous snakes as “endangered”. I have a better idea....why not just keep the UN away from the issue completely.

You would think a writer for AP would know this: “Venomous” the word is venomous. If a snake is poisonous a person dies from eating it.
