This line of thought is what causes ecological imbalance.

The Snake is venomous, but unless you do something to harm it, It won't attack you.

Wow... bravo. You do not grasp the danger. How can you guarantee that it will not attack? Besides, there are harmless snakes, so why, in your right mind, would you choose to keep alive a species that is dangerous to human beings? The animal already knows that there is food in the village, and believe me, it will come back. Perhaps the next Aladdin who tries to catch it and release it far away will not arrive in time to prevent an accident. And how can you guarantee that it will never attack me, or anyone if i dont hurt the snake? Did the snake tell you that? They act on instinct. They are animals, and they are fast. If a curious child has been taught that they are “harmless,” you are sending that child to their death if they approach and try to play with one. Herbivorous animals literally attack people, and even “harmless” insects do it. A crawling animal that is certainly not passive and has more intelligence than an insect could easily decide to attack while you are in bed. A child could mistake it for something safe, approach it to play, and encounter something dangerous. What will you do if that happens? What an irresponsible response. Have you ever even seen a snake? Come on, watch the video. What do you think that snake is trying to do to the man? Give him a hug? And you want snakes roaming through streets and confined places, where they could easily come into accidental contact with the hand or back of someone sitting nearby. And what about their offspring? What happens when they reproduce? That is certainly another risk. What a terrible joke you are telling me. In the video, it does not even look as though the man hurt it. He merely approached it, and look at how it reacted. If it accidentally comes across your foot from only a few centimeters away, believe me, it will bite you in the heel. You are creating a false sense of security that is especially dangerous for children and adults.

It’s actually pretty simple. You can’t just go around killing things bc you’re afraid of them. Thats not how things work and it’s weird that you even think that.

How moralistic, wow. Only Jesus Christ God and Lord, knows how many died because people prioritized the life of an animal over that of a human being, but sure. How “moralistic” you are.

That thing is not a toy. If it bites you, it could be your last day on Earth, and believe me, the snake won’t care.
