Like every other snake on earth, they’re not a bit aggressive and only bite if actively tormented.
People over there respect their role in nature and simply move them off to another spot when they come too close to villages in search of food.
They appreciate the snakes’ ridding them of zoonotic disease bearing rodents.
Venom potency appears inversely proportional to aggression. For example, sea snakes or the Gaboon viper have extremely potent venom, but the snakes is not regarded as aggressive. Gaboon viper according to Wikipedia:
"They are usually very tolerant snakes, even when handled, and rarely bite or hiss, unlike most vipers. However, bites by bad-tempered individuals do occur."
"There have been numerous descriptions of their generally unaggressive nature. Sweeney (1961) wrote they are so docile that they "can be handled as freely as any non-venomous species", although this is absolutely not recommended."
People over there ... appreciate the snakes’ ridding them of zoonotic disease bearing rodents.
On the other hand, they have a Hindu temple rat-worship, where rats are fed and nurtured and allowed to run wild. It must be cobra heaven.
