Dean Allan, South Australia

 It saddened me when I read this .article .So I thought I would send you through some information that may be of interest to your readers I do the bookkeeping for a gentleman in South Australia by the name of Geoff Coombe. Geoff has been presenting Snake Awareness and Snake Handling presentations in Australia and around the world for many years now and his whole focus is on making people aware of why snakes act and react in the way that they do and what we can do to reduce the chance of being bitten by them. His website is at www.livingwithwildlife.com.au and he has two blogs, one at geoffcoombeslivingwwithwildlife.blogspot.com and the other at snakebiteinnepal.blogspot.com so I would encourage your readers to have a look at these sites to get a better understanding of these creatures. Your readers may also be interested to know that Geoff has recently set up an Online Snake Awareness course, where you can learn about snake’s habitats and the ways in which they react to people.  Geoff truly believes that we can live in harmony with these creatures if we understand the reasons behind why they do what they do. He also believes that we can greatly reduce the chance of being bitten by them simply by knowing how to react if we ever come into contact with them. I hope your readers find this information of interest and I hope that if more people read what Geoff has to say about these creatures, there will be less deaths by snake bite throughout the world.
