Quote:I couldn't agree more. I read a news story a few days ago where some men found a poisonous snake in a toilet. Granted, it's a little dangerous but with some improvised tools and some caution they should be able to remove it themselves. What did they do? Called 911. A lady cop arrived and removed the offending snake with two police batons. I would have rather been bitten.

 

911? I hope she slapped the crap out of those fools afterwards. 

 

Spiders don't bother me too much, probably because farming pretty much forces you not to be bothered by them too much... snakes are ok until you duck your head into a vine canopy and one is sitting there a few inches from your mug. The two animals that scare me the most on my ranch are beavers and hawks.

 

Beavers are surprisingly aggressive in the water and hawks? Silent death from above? No thanks. Not a big fan of raccoons either really, and very very occasionally we get a mountain lion which can be a little unsettling. Long story short, the rabid mammals are way worse than the creepy crawlies.
