I have more respect for them than I do people who would have said, I think the snake was choking a bit as he ate, humans are destroying the snakes ability to eat in peace, we must keep people out so the snake does not get indigestion and has time to digest .

Extra points for the gratuitous glamping reference.

"I had no idea the buffalo would have gored little Timmy like that! Oh the horror!" Who woulda thunk it, huh? Wake up people.

Once during a hot July my father and uncle thought it would be fun to go to the Everglades. While there not only did I see live mosquitoes, but they ate me....whole! That’s nothing.

I saw a good sized cottonmouth, his mouth busy with a good sized goggle-eye bream (or warmouth bass, if you prefer)...man, was I excited - that meant there was fish in that canal, and I would soon be fishing there every day! Sure enough, my folks bought the house, and I was soon fishing every day, both there and the swamp that it flowed by. Great days - I wish my kids could have carefree summers like that. The point is, my snake was POISONOUS, and neither I nor my parents freaked...in fact, they thought it was kind of neat. The water snakes in the Smokies are harmless, if maybe a bit crabby from all the tourists gawking at them. They do have rattlers, but I have (yet) to run across any.
