@baraposter @Awoo @Elliptica Eh, when I was in Oklahoma I encountered black widows about once every two years. That's one of those "OH FUCK YOU DIE NOW" moments.
Venomous insects are a "KILL ON SIGHT" thing for most people, so their population gets controlled kinda naturally.

@Elliptica @Awoo Venomous snakes/lizards are made of meat and leather, we just fucking eat them. Literally just wear proper protective clothes and you can pwn them with a shovel. Anyone who is working around them has antivenom on hand anyway, so it's sort of like :shrug:
People in New Mexico apparently capture the wildcats and keep them as rape slaves. This is legal because bestiality is apparently still legal there.
Wolves/coyotes are food and leather, because we have guns.
The only dangerous shit that's not free resources are the bees, ants, wasps, and spiders. Ants and spiders get pwnt by diatomaceous earth, bees and wasps are pwnt by raid.
We can handle this shit ez.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating even then, in large chunks of the US there just simply aren't a lot of venomous animals that one would encounter on an even irregular basis. @Elliptica @Awoo

@Awoo I'm sort of mystified that America does not get more shit for it's animals. Lots of venomous snakes, venimous lizards, Africanized honey bees, invasive fire ants, wild cats, hawk wasps, bears, wolves, coyotes, and plenty of large spiders, but everyone seems to ignore it.

Imagine living somewhere that has cute animals like this. Instead I have to avoid 100 spiders on my way outside, make sure there isn't a snake outside my front door, get my face mauled by Magpies once I finally make it outside and then have to wrestle the Goanna out of my car, only to realize that my car is out of fuel and the tank is full of Bull Ants.
