Snakes are the second most beneficial animal to humans!
Snakes only have one job, and that is to eat rats and mice.
Rats and mice are very harmful and destructive to humans. They spread diseases, destroy crops, contaminate our food supplies, and destroy textiles. Without snakes our world would be over-run with these rodents.
Venomous snakes from around the world produce chemicals in their toxins that are being used to create medications that currently treat Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Heart Disease, Heart Attacks, Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Arthritis,and Hemophilia. As recently as 2021, a viper in Brazil has been found to have chemicals in its toxins that are resistant to Corona Virus. If we do not respect and protect these silent guardians of the human race, we may lose the key to saving our own future. We don't ask that you love these animals as we do, but only that you respect and help protect them.
