Not ourselves...we take care of four feral cats and are fortunate to see a fair amount of wildlife around our home so as far as venomous snakes go (and we haven't seen any since living here..16yrs.) it's most likely we'd contact a wildlife removal service for assistance in relocating the...

Thank you! Certainly agree with you re the availablity and ease of buying the meat, poultry etc. not to mention pricing. I believe that we are what we eat and our food supply should be the source of our health...which it would be if producers haven't destroyed it by greed and I truly feel for...
