A FedEx driver is being praised after a video went viral showing the driver killing a rattlesnake balled up next to a customer's front door.

A Ring security video posted to social media showed FedEx driver Matt Govier confronting an unexpected obstacle while delivering a package to the Nebraska home of Christie Jones, who had a rattlesnake balled up right next to the front door of the home.

The video shows the rattlesnake slithering up to the front porch of the home and eventually coming to a rest in the corner by the front door. Minutes later, Govier arrives on scene to deliver a package, only to hear the rattling of the snake nearby.

That was right neighborly of the Fed-ex guy. He could have just dropped the package and ran.

Just think, a child could have been first out of the car and running to the door when coming home and ran directly into the snake.

The driver should be commended for his "toxic masculinity".

Libs...”The snake was here first; we are intruding on its native habitat. We are destroying snake habitat so quickly that the poor snakes have to do something, they have nowhere to go. Why did he have to KILL the snake? That’s just a harmless reptile. Couldn’t he have just relocated the snake?”

I’ve heard every one of these arguments over our horrible over-population of deer.

NE’s Senators are both Rs, so maybe he’ll be publicly commended.

A guy in Minnesota was arrested for doing the same thing along a walking path.

Amen to that... if his boss is a liberal he'll probably be fired. Let's hope his boss is a decent person - a conservative.

Upon further investigation, it was determined that the rattlesnake in question was a highly endangered species, duragolox democratinus and the FDX driver was immiately assessed a $250,000 fine and sentenced to 200 hours of community zoo service.

On the local nextdoor app there’s always someone posting a pic of a snake wanting to know what species it is.......even if it’s a water moccasin or rattler invariably someone will suggest “rehoming” it instead dispatching it.

I really wonder about people sometimes. SMH

https://romegeorgia.org/attraction/berry-college-wildlife/ ... Berry College in my town has 26,000 ac. and lots of deer. They’re welcomed, but I think there’s a hunting season too.

A hero? Employee of the year?

I guess I should click past the excerpt, cause I read nothing here that indicates all these nice accolades.

Georgia has a large deer population. We have about 20 to 30 that hang out at our place. Yesterday, there were two on our patio eating the cat’s food. We need more hunters to reduce the deer population a bit.

I have had a few surprise encounters with rattlers. Scared the crap out of me.
It’s too bad they are protected here in Minnesota.

“To her the only good snake is a dead snake”

Apparently it’s in their DNA.

Mine gets so pizzed when I won’t kill a black racer. LOL!
