No, of course not. Egrets are cute, ducks are cute, snakes and alligators are not cute.

I once saw a guy kill a snake because it was eating a frog. The frog died as well as it was pretty damaged by being half swallowed by the snake.

But again, frogs are cuter then snakes to the man decided that it was not right that this snake be eating a frog.

I for one like Gardner snakes and black/rat snakes. Gardners catch unwanted insects and the black snakes keep the rat population sometimes at bay. But, in the game of eat or be eaten that's way it goes. I seen little lizards eat a bug. I also got colony of bats roosting in My CYV wall crack. So you insect lovers try to avoid this awful site. The 10 to 15 bats come to roost is neat way they duck and dive around objects in my back yard!

Found baby bat almost ready to fledge on my sidewalk, got long stick he climbed on it (course upside down) and Put him up to the crack between wall sections and he quickly went down to roost.

Exactly. We love to give human attributes to animals. Brown bears are cute too until they are tearing a human being apart.

Cats are so adorable. Did you ever watch a lion bite into the head of a live monkey?

Nature can be brutal and ugly.
