One of the FB comments from the news station page.

The photo was shot in forced perspective style. The snake is closer to the camera than the man holding it on a stick. Folks, there is no need to kill our native wildlife out of fear. Snakes play a vital role in our ecosystem, we need them. Yes, even the venomous. Snake venom is used in many modern medicines. Did you know a protein in copperhead venom has been tested and proven effective against fighting breast cancer? Snakes are highly misunderstood. Please, call us if you need a snake removed.
