WASHINGTON (AP) — A Florida man has admitted his role in the trade of 59 illegally caught wild snakes, including a live rattler mailed to him in a coffee can.
Gerard Kruse of Oviedo, Florida, appeared Friday in a federal courtroom in New York City. The 42-year-old social worker pleaded guilty to seven counts of illegally transporting wildlife and six counts of the illegal receipt of wildlife.
Federal prosecutors say the snakes were collected by Kruse and others from various states, including New Jersey, California and Oregon. It is a crime to ship or receive illegally collected snakes across state lines.
One charge stemmed from a deal where Kruse received a package that included a Western diamondback rattlesnake from Texas sealed in a coffee can. It is also unlawful to mail venomous snakes.

I need everything and everyone involved in this scenario dead. Dead. I dont fuck with snakes. I might’ve said it before on here but if not then let me be as loud as possible about this opinion. FUCK SNAKES. I want then all obliterated from the planet. I don’t know how it will effect the eco system but i don’t care. They slither and that tongue shit they do is fucking gross and then of course the venom. I know not all snakes have venom but I don’t care. A snake is a snake and some snakes have venom so to me all snakes have venom. I don’t know that old rhyme to tell the difference. Yellow on black friend of jack? Is it Red on black? I don’t know. Fuck Jack and fuck snakes.

But as I was saying, i need everyone involved dead. Anyone collecting snakes is a fucking crazy person. Get a normal fucking pet. Not one that you stick in a glass cage where you watch it eat like mice dead or alive. Fucking gross. The Guy shipping snakes? Fuck you bro. Leave the snakes far afucking way from me. I hope your ass gets bit. Texas rattlers should just jump his ass for snatching them and shit. So him, dead. Every single postal employee that didn’t some how screen this shit better. I want you dead. I mean to be fair maybe He did find out about the snake and reported it to the cops and it led to his arrest but the article didn’t say that. Plus there were like 6 other snakes shipped to him before this one so fuck all the postal employees. At some point they should here a fucking rattle snake rattle its rattle in a coffee tin. Fucking gross. I mean dont they have some sort of X ray these days to screen mail? can i just ship like anything these days as long as i seal the package tight enough?

And Last of all, as i said earlier. All those snakes, dead. Its kinda like when those escaped animals break free. You can’t know how they will react so they have to shoot em i think. Same thing with snakes, they’re probably pissed as shit they were taken from their home and live in a glass box in Oveido. Oveido sucks. Almost nothing worth seeing there ever. Snakes probably want to go on a violent rampage so they should jsut take the snake out of the situation by blowing it up. Nuff said.
