> but the fact is these trained professionals deal with those animals with much more knowledge of their natures than if some average dude wonders across one if i ever see a cobra, i'll try to stay away as far from it as possible. i don't know about an "average dude", since people are mostly incredibly stupid, but even then, they'll probably have enough sense to stay away too. that is immeasurably more understanding and consideration of snake nature than those "professionals" demonstrate when they start pestering them for hype, get their face within bite's distance, etc. now, handling snakes is useful, since their poison is used in pharmaceutical industry. handling pitbulls isn't.
