>>76725887It haunts me sometimes. I wish I could go back, handle it differently. I've only ever killed dangerous snakes that directly threatened me or my family. But that hognose, I acted too quickly out of fear and a desire to protect but also a lust for a fight. I was looking for a reason to kill.
And that hognose snake payed the price for my bloodlust. I haven't killed since. Recently I caught a small grass snake for my brother, it was crawling on his fence. I took him out to the forest and let him go, he was spooking my bro and the dogs.
I started thinking of that hognose snake. I'll have to live with that till the day I die.
