Animals that try get a taste of human needs to be put down. It will try again and succeed.

This is such an ignorant take. There’s no such thing as getting a taste of human, that’s just dumb.

The snake saw a living object of a size it could take down and that’s it. Yes, it will see other objects it can take down and it will do so, but it’s not going to suddenly try to kill all humans. 😂

With snakes, yeah.

With tigers and “smarter” predators, no.

They start going after humans and they are either desperate or looking for human prey. In either case it means you should kill them.

Unless you hate your neighbors or people in general…which I get.

Humans are not supposed to be on their daily hit list. But once it knows humans are food, it won't be long till that happens again.

Again, just the dumbest take. You know that cartoons aren’t real, right? 😂

Have humans not euthanized animals that have bitten/eaten humans? Anacondas, dogs, wolfs, lions?

Yes, they have. That does not mean it was the right thing, or even a necessary thing to do. A lot of these acts to put down "man eaters" is a result of ignorance combined with archaic assumptions about humanity's relationship with nature. It's a remnant of the old philosophical idea of the devine human, separated and above the natural world.
