Friends, what I'm about to tell you will blow your minds. There's a "Helpful hints" page called Ehow, that published this article:
How to Kill a Garter Snake | eHow.com
I urge members here to respond to this web article. I've posted comments there via Facebook, and all but one has been deleted (by Ehow itself). I sent a letter to:
support@ehow.zendesk.com
and so far have yet to get a reply, and I'm not optimistic.
We all care about snakes in general, and love our garters, but they need our help in a BIG way to combat this level of ignorance. Write to them, report the site to animal and/or reptile protection agencies, and share this information so that Ehow either removes the article or publishes a retraction.
This type of cruelty and baseless fear needs our opposition.

Re: How To Kill a Garter Snake
Thanks for bringing it to our attention, and you can bet that action will be taken by this guy. That article is so ignorant that I am surprised they don't have one called "How to Lynch a..." well, nevermind.
Now that we know about it, their statement "Killing and exterminating snakes can be dangerous" Takes on a whole new meaning huh?

Re: How To Kill a Garter Snake
Killing snakes can be dangerous, but these guys are harmless, so let's kill them anyway.
To hell with logic.

It's just irresponsible regardless of what type of wildlife it is.

Re: How To Kill a Garter Snake
There are my comments
Chang Lin - YOU SUCK!
You hold a "Bachelor of Arts in scriptwriting from the University of North Texas." and you write this crap! Get a life Bro!
Are you seriously promoting animal cruelty! I hope this site gets closed down!
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO KILL GARTER SNAKES 99.999% of them are harmless.
I demand that this ehow be removed!
I have also asked that the members on the other forum that I am registered at Join us in getting this article taken down
