I was thinking as you wrote this about how some people justify hating snakes because they were Eve's temptation. In the Old Testament in the Bible God tells his people to not forgive those who do evil and to kill them and all their family but then Christ came. The New Testament says do not do that anymore. If someone sins against you turn the other cheek and forgive them. It seems to me that hating snakes for something a snake ancestor did is to deny Christ and his teachings. It is not Christian. That is just my thought.

Here we have snakes but one of the most feared animals is the alligator. My brother in law lives in Florida where sometimes they find alligators even in very good communities but there are occasions when people get them as pets when the alligators are very little and they are found in states far from where alligators usually live. It takes a lot of skill to wrestle alligators and the state wildlife organization relocates as many as possible but they are not on the endangered list and there are not many places where they can relocate them where there is enough food for more alligators than are already living there so sometimes they end up in restaurants.
