Should I Feel Guilty For Killing A Snake?

I once heard of a nun :nun: who was a known crack shot with a pistol :cowboy: :crazyshoot: & one of her jobs was to kill all the rattlers found around the monastery. I don't think she showed any mercy ;).

 

Sounds like a nun version of St. Gabriel Possenti...

I thought you guys might be curious to see a picture of the snake.  It disappeared shortly after I took the picture (I think my cat ate it.. He finally came around hungry today.).  

 

Anyway it is a "Speckled" rattlesnake.  The head is right near the tail and the rattle -- and you can see some dark rings on the tail just before the rattle.  I think it is interesting because it did not have the typical markings that I associate with rattlesnakes.  And apparently it is the most common rattlesnake in my area.
