I realise this is a tragic accident but also another example of ridiculous fear and ingorance about snakes as well as gun happy police. (I tried to find if it had already been posted, sorry if this is a repeat topic)

What an awful story, i think you have said it all really drymarchon, and in the process of ignorance a child has been killed.  |

The original call was for a rattlesnake that had gone up a tree (should have raised a few eyebrows) but it turned out to be a rat snake. They shot it because it was classed as a danger to the public. Just a load of idiots.

Hi al,
I saw this a week or so ago though cannot remember where. What can you say about these type of incidents.
I prefer to call them incidents rather than accidents.
Shame that there are so many lame brains in this world!!!

| One pictures a redneck copper showing too much bravado, but apparently it was a lady police officer firing the gun. |

Really tragic  But it's most likely the only way for people to learn to curb their ignorance  |
