Well, it seems, in most cases, that snakes can be preeetty harmful to other creatures, including people. Their venom, crushing tactics, hisses, and very long and pointy fangs usually make people tend to avoid them.

Yes, I do and many other people who respect others. Snakes being evil is very stereotypical and you cannot say you don't like snakes as not all snakes are the same. I respect people who like to keep away from venomous snakes or one particular snake that you have meet but you cannot hate a group unless you know every individual one. I think snakes are beautiful and interesting, they are very different and this can make them special for me. "Wow, it's a domestic cat!" or "wow it's a reticulated python in my garden!" Which is more likely to be said. For me its the snake that would be wow as its rare to find snakes in England and cats are everywhere.
