Oh, The Hate

I am aware that snapping turtles are called "snapping" turtles because they are known to, in fact, snap at people's fingers and toes and protruding appendages. I am also aware that this would probably hurt, and maybe become a hindrance in your daily WPM average, or in your ability to kill it in Easter thumb wrestling parties. I was not aware that when I told people I saw a snapping turtle near the vineyard after a heavy rainfall, the first thing they would ask is, "Did you kill it? Why not? Is it dead?"
