whoa! That was one nasty looking bite

@SilverDragon5432266 Dammit, typo. I meant "cities".

[SilverDragon5432266]

And as millions of city's are overrun by rats and mice all over the world, people take action against the reptiles. They may not be cute, but they are an extremely important part of the ecosystem. I don't see anyone taking action against rat infestation. Rats could kill more people than snakes could, considering how fast they spread diseases. Killing off the snakes will result in the end of the human race, for sure. But nobody ever seems to respect and appreciate how important they are.

@snarst yea, even if we tried, they would just reproduce.

[snarst]

@comandermalander456 not really

[comandermalander456]

@snarst then there is nothing that they can do.

[snarst]

@comandermalander456 They have done that but it is often extremely hard when they reproduce so fast and it is hard to get every last one. Doing so stabilizes the environment and humans have an economical interest in doing so. In the Galapagos islands they exterminated all the wild goats but it was to late for one subspecies of tortes, there is one one member of it's subspecies left,his name is lonely George. The rest had already starved to death because the goats decimated their natural food.
