Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spiders&amp;Snakes" data-source="post: 191629" data-attributes="member: 36399">This is what I used to tell people who were afraid of snakes that came into my Reptile Department at my previous place of work (zoo in the States). If you think shedding your skin in one clean piece is digsuting, try 3 billion tiny pieces that get EVERYWHERE. What's more disgusting?! Most people are slightly brainwashed and ignorant. But it's the society we live in. Where shows about Kim Kardashian's shopiing habits are more important than learning about nature and the conservation of our planet. We have become so DETACHED from the natural world that we are scared by simplistic things, and lifeforms that are 1/1000th our size. I try to educate, but alas we are fighting a losing battle.There will always be more idiots interested in handbags and cellphones than people who are interested in wildlife. Welcome to the 21st century.</blockquote>
