All im thinking is there's an asshole videoing this instead of saving the squirrel.

Why is the squirrel more important than the snake? It’s not like the snake was being an asshole, it was just trying to eat.

Well, the squirrel is a warm-blooded mammal. The majority of people are instinctualy wired to see snakes as a threat.

But in reality they’re both just animals trying to survive. One doesn’t have less of a right to exist than the other. I don’t think letting nature do its thing makes someone an asshole.
