Smeegle if you take offence then that's up to you.
As for someone on the outside reading this topic, I really dont think their opinion on herpers would be very positive seeing as there are quite alot on here who get bleak over the death of a snake and cheer on the death of a human being.
Every single kid that comes out to my farm for whatever reason I try and encourage them to come onto this site and learn something here, however this is not the type of thing I want my kids reading. I dont want them coming out to my farm with the same perception as some of the members on this forum. I am not trying to force anyone to take on my "view" on things either, I am just appalled with the comments on this tragic and unnecessary death.
