FedEx driver kills rattlesnake, apologizes in note about the blood 

Fact 💯!

😖😣

😂😂😂😂😂😂

No doubt

Same at UPS, they would call it "stealing time".

​@@JohnDoe-bo3zi🙄🤣😂

they are not deadly as long as you are not messing with them.

The snake wasn’t a threat. This is animal cruelty. Snake only attack humans when threatened.. they are looking for rodents.

​@@L3ONARDO07do you have autism🤨

@@L3ONARDO07 Oh Boo Hoo, that breaks my achy breaky heart!

@L3ONARDO07 It was a threat because it was sitting on their front steps! If it was out in the wilderness where it belongs then I would agree. But trespassing on someone's property makes it a threat. A very venomous threat!

I say he wouldn’t have noticed if the snake didn’t warn him and rattle

rattlesnakes NEVER attack. stupid humans step on them and they strike back ...and not every time

@@LIONESSOFZION exaggeration

Im glad are ok. Here we have tons of copperhead. I live in a city. My neighbor just got bit at night. It was hiding in the mulch in front of the house.

not a hero to kill animals. they live there and humans moved in. if you can’t deal with the local animals then move

@@ericlucci2829 And where do you live you plonker? I expect hundreds of animals and insects were killed and moved on for your comfy accommodation. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

No doubt

Shut up, Eric.

True customer service ❤

Now if only that was the true case for FedEx as they are the absolute worst parcel carrier, UPS has always been best imo albeit a little on the pricy side but at least they’ll get you package to you safe and sound and the drivers are all nice.

@MrThatnativeguy Our FedX drivers are quite different. One will call me so I can open my gate. One will just set them over the gate which is fine. The other one leaves them on the outside of the gate on the road basically and that infuriates me because they can get stolen.

🫡💯I approve this message!

Wow

😂😂

I noticed it growled when it was looking in the direction where the snake ended up.

But it wasn't there yet

@@carpo719 I'm wondering if the dog picked up on it, wherever it was, probably nearby, but since the girl didn't see it she rushed the dog through. Not in the final place where it was killed, but possibly close to it.

@@vladimirputindreadlockrast812I bet it was just on top of the first step in the crack, stretched out, but just below the top step. The dog was whining and concerned.

​@johnhickman106 Dog might not of come out unscathed. It would probably get it but not without likely getting bit. It's best the delivery driver got it. Man's best friend is willing to die for us but we shouldn't ask for it.

You got me thinking, as this is a real problem in our neighborhood. Maybe get a fake one that looks real and put it on the porch!

The family could easily put up a sign that said "Beware of rattlesnakes" and they would never get thieves or burglars!

Keep your pet rattlesnakes inside and away from the public

@@TraceguyRune i for one don’t own snakes, but i would imagine a snake could escape and as long as it’s still on your property i don’t think anyone has the right to come onto your property which is not “public” and kill your snake.

im dyslexic and it took me so long to figure out the title and i thought this was a bad story because he killed a pet snake😭

That’s what I was thinking, that’s why I would’ve just contacted the homeowner.

the dog likely seen it or smelt it at least but that was the daughter whistling not the dog whining

No I absolutely heard the dog whining. He was even looking in that direction. He knew the snake was there I believe.

​@@TortureBotyou can believe what you want but that wasn't the dog whining

@evrlastngcherry7727 after looking back more closely, I agree with you that it was the kid whistling (terribly, lol). It didn't sound like it at first, but when I paused and zoomed in, I did see the girl with pursed lips. I do still believe the dog noticed the snake because he was looking directly in the corner and wasn't acting quite normal.

Bro the dog was waiting on her to open the fcking door😂

He sent a text message. They showed the text message lol

😂😂

LOL! good one. you should read some of the comments around here, people are seriously triggered over this story. it's quite telling they have never touched grass that wasn't planted by someone else...

@@gusmc2220 really, all I see is praise for the man. But I guess it's because that is what I was looking for in the comments.

@victorgadamba5518 thankfully most are sensible and praising the man. I should have quantified my statement as _some_ people are upset. And it's hilarious how far from reality they appear to be

@@gusmc2220 I am guilty of paying attention to negative comments too. A few negative comments can indeed shadow the many positive ones, but that's why when I see a heartwarming video I try to selectively pay attention to positive ones. The best reaction is to not pay too much attention to negative comments. That FedEx driver is indeed an awesome awesome human being.

@victorgadamba5518 good point. Ty for the advice

To be fair, though, lots of dogs will freak out over everything. Possum! Possum! Hey! Did you know there's a possum there?! Possum!

Aye, my neighbor dogs would bark at any slightest unknown sound, local cats barely react when pass the house.

Sitting by the door. Imagine if she walked out or the dog. A rattle snake would most likely jump out and bite. Those things are venomous.

@@lalotime Rattlesnakes don’t want to use their venom on you or your children; it’s meant for catching prey. They literally have a rattle to warn you of their presence.

@@seanhagan1435 And what happens if you don't hear the rattle and get too close?

@@lalotime You clearly have no experience with snakes and I would encourage you to research their behavior before commenting such ridiculous and untrue things.

@@dorianlain1372 then you are most likely deaf, the rattle is quite loud.

He didn’t want to get involved

@@marksinger4415 he was crying

​@@diamondly6250 thats the daughter whistling you dumdum

Because he was looking at the children wrong wondering how they taste

They're usually not aggressive and won't bother people if left alone.

@@ledzeppelin1212if it’s on your front step and you step on it unknowingly it will bite you.

Right... they live on a farm. He's just there feasting on the mice that they clearly have in the house. But I don't trust them. One bite can kill inside of an hour.

@@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU Yea as much as I appreciate that they get rid of vermin the risk is just too high for normal people to tolerate and moving them really doesn't work because outside of driving them an hour away they'll just come right back. Snakes are fascinating creatures but those bites are dangerous and even if it doesn't kill you it can make you extremely sick or cost you a limb.

The expert DID take it away.

Yeah honestly a bit surprised by the comments section but it’s understandable. These news videos always have the most general public audiences

Gotta be careful with those mats they can act as invitations

😅 he could be like a "Dexter" and after work took his boat out to sea and dropped off the snake in his usual spot?

I mean he did kill it

Because it was. And I'm not saying he was wrong for it, I've also had to murder certain dangerous or pesky animals and insects myself because they also encroached upon my territory or are damaging it. But it's all still murder because how could they possibly recognize the area in which they are in? They were simply just moving around, found somewhere to chill for a bit and never outright attacked anyone until someone came up to it and outright killed it just for being there. Same thing we do to other dangerous animals and bugs around our areas. It's not their fault, they didn't seek us out, but we still have to dispatch them because if not they'll harm or kill us by accident because they don't understand us nor our intentions in nearly the same way that we do theirs since we are, again by no faults, simply vastly more intelligent and dominant compared to them. It is what it is!

Exactly it was hiding in the other corner out of view once everyone left it changed corners it slithered across the step lol

That was the original reason why we had dogs. But we have perverted their original function.

I don't think the dog was whining. The girl was whistling. If you look at her face as she faces the camera, you can see her lips puckered (whistling).

dogs commonly bark at strangers outside, a dog barking at the door is nothing unusual. At my home we'll be like "stop barking! it's just the neighbors... again"

​@@silverfox9004 Not all dogs are the same

@@jayluis189 I know, just trying to explain a common way many people read their dog's barking. It's too bad we can't understand what they're actually trying to say, maybe they're saying hi to the neighbors or trying to tell us there's something interesting outside

Some dogs bark and whine all gd day.

As a child I lived in the country in south Florida we have many snakes in the area rattlesnakes cottonmouths and coral snakes every dog and cat we had would warn us of any snakes in the area the cat actually jump on me the jump off them jumped again mowed like crazy as I looked down at her I seen a coral snake at my front door may dog would do crazy stuff too to warn me had one terrior that would go after the snake and kill it would scar me to death he would get bitten he live to a old age never did get bitten but loved to kill snakes we had to keep him inside and wall him to keep him from hunting down snakes and yes where we lived there was that many snakes the were everywhere during the spring and summer we started getting blacksnake ans releasing them in our yard they eat snakes much rather have a black snake in the yard then venomous snakes

Kinda hard not to be alert when you hear it rattling like it did. Lmao

Well fed and overly provided generation.

Attacking is what humans do 😂, animals bite in self defense. Although, I am not saying that the driver did anything wrong!

@@ani_ds12 animals attack all the time. House cats, tigers, bears, moose, polar bears, are just a few. What are you on about?

Snakes don't "attack", they defend. That snake was already over there, where the dog was sniffing, and it waited for the people/dog to leave before it moved to the other side. Snakes are really not out to get us, you know. They want to be left alone. (To clarify, the steps are no place for the snake, and I'm glad it was removed.)

Iam afraid of them also bro!

I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and once there was a little garter snake on the porch 🤭 I feel for you!

@@jessicalatorraca8507you are not Jehovah’s Witness but are in a cult. Repent and find the real Jesus. As for those who are afraid of snakes, carry something that can kill it. Wear protective clothing. Be ready to kill it when it comes.

Consider it a training video. Always check the corners, and maybe always carry a shovel?

Now you know where to look. Be safe, your loved ones await your return.

No he took one

I guess if it is outside. Not an issue but if it comes to your door, that's when it is a problem

That's different. The stupid thing put itself in a corner that's hidden from the people living there and would likely strike if they stepped out.

Live and let live.

It was ready to lunge & bite. There ain’t no "living" after that.

@@MrRAGE-md5rj Except only .0025% of people that get bit result in death. But go ahead and lie on the internet 😬

No

No you don't find them always in pairs are you stupid

Not always true. I live on a ranch and have lived on ranches for about 25 years. Don't put unnecessary fear in people.

True, they come looking for them too. They track their scent trail and will likely be found where they last were. Happened underneath on my Aunts front porch steps. Two days later a second same sized rattler in the identical spot .

Lmao. Rattlesnakes are not always in pairs, dumbsht.

No.

Not likely.

Not likely, but possibly. This particular rattlesnake carries myotoxins which doesn't respond well to antivenom. Myotoxins attack the muscular system.

@@brakesforsnakes757yes

No

A "man" would have let it live and relocated it. 🙄

You mad?​@@JimHerbertOutdoors

What a child

@@JimHerbertOutdoors cry

I noticed that people who hate other people for "displacing wildlife" say so from their own home where apparently no wildlife ever existed. People matter, too.

@Jr-qo4ls We are part of nature. We live here too. Animals kill each other every day. Rattlesnakes will bite anything they perceive as a threat. We are no different.

Do you give up your house if a raccoon digs into your roof or mice gets into your basement?

Yes, because killing an innocent animal should just make everyone all warm and fuzzy inside 🙄 Like, I understand the concern for the family. But he could have just taken a picture of the snake to send to the owner, moved the package somewhere not near the snake, and said be careful if going near the front door. People whose first reaction is to excitedly kill something are usually psychopaths.

No

Yea, he sure had a ton of compassion for that innocent snake just doing its thing. Didn't have to kill it. There is such a thing as animal control. I love how the devout religious force the rose-colored glasses of the heavenly father on everything. Sanctity of life , hahah yeah, only when it supports your narrative.

​@@scrat8177Amen lol

@@scrat8177well you know he may very well have killed satan himself in that snake 😅

No

😂

And you do realise Jesus was a laystace dont you ? He would’ve been absolutely gutted that you killed something that could provide hours of pleasure from drinking its venom.😂

tell that to the snake

He killed an innocent creature

Maybe he shouldn't have started working at low wage fedex.

They won't

One could have easily moved the snake without killing it, especially with a rake

They have tons of mice on that farm. Snakes everywhere. They're not thinking about them people. If they were trying to bite, they would have been in the house doing so.

I wouldn't try it. Snakes have really quick reflexes, so to minimize risk you need to be trained properly

Same

yeah, she might've heard the rattle and turned around, just as nature intended.

@@scrat8177 Yes, you're right, something I never thought about.👍

This happened at our house about 25 years ago. I stepped right over a coral snake that was stretched out in front of the stoop. It didn't bother me, but when I looked back to the house, I saw it. My mom was still inside and I told her to stay in (I was going to be late for work), while I called my dad. He was on two wheels to come home and kill it LOL

Probably not. Most snakes are very shy and wouldn't come out if they heard noise. They'd wait until it was quiet, as this snake did.

The frick do you mean congrats? The man killed a wild snake. No reason to be proud of that.

force controversial subjects much?

​@scrat8177 It's not controversial at all actually. It's pretty cut and dry.

​@@allahakbar59Found one who doesn't know. 😂

How many snakes did you have toy around with to come up this one?

lol… go tell that to CatAleah

how much time do you think it took?

something that can endanger people's lives is more important than being a little slower to fulfill your duties

They have to make sure the package is safely accessible if they're saving Iives then extra 10 minutes won't be a big deal.

Looked properly to me! U rock Matt

it's okay, they are the same people who want to silence and label you for your comments about people pouring across the border into the country. Now they will use their hall monitoring system to flag it as hate speech (immigration status)...

I can understand that. There probably wasn't time for that sort of thing though in case one of the kids came out.

Those same people are censors on this nanny site. They even have the temerity to deny us our first amendment...

@@troyhall4039 some guy who runs a wildlife page reported this video for animal abuse and posted a middle finger emoji. His comment got reported though, so It's probably gone.

I agree. The snakes do NOT want to attack humans and even their severed heads can be dangerous for a long time after the head is severed from the body. We don’t need to kill every dangerous animal we encounter - best thing would be to call animal control and even the police in order for the police to warn the homeowner. I would not take this upon myself.

@@VOODOOphg agree but FedEx guy does not have time to wait for wildlife personnel to show up (that can take an hour) better to kill a rattler than to risk danger to pets /family. FedEx guy doesn't have time to wait for family to arrive n warn them.

I've seen reports of envenomation after decapitation.

@@pilarq7886 A house cat technically can kill a rattlesnake.

@@pilarq7886only if it’s a 12 foot snake. Their strike range is shorter than their bodies, not longer.

They usually mind their own business and only get aggressive when threatened. Plus they help keep rodents away. Never understood why people go out of their way to kill them

Right? If this was a fuzzy cute predator people would lose their minds. I live in Southern Alberta and we get snakes that encounter humans. The city I live in has a snake handler that one can call to relocate the snake away from your home. Most areas have animal control that could relocate the snake. Poor snake. He's was an important part of the ecosystem. Also.... good dog who tried to tell the humans that it was there.
