I know I would have. Why would his little brother even be the one to kill it? I'm a snake lover (no homo lol) and if it was absolutely necessary to kill a snake, I would take the job over someone that would extend the animal's suffering by offering weaker, uncoordinated blows.what, you think he's gonna thump his little brother for doing what their ophidiophobic mom told them to do while she probably watched? yeah, that always works out.
