For those of you who haven't seen this yet... Yup, Patrick Willis kills a harmless snake and posts it online to look "cool".

Ready. Set. Go! Flood'um with emails and let them know what you think. We can use this opportunity to maybe change his mind about how he feels about snakes, or reptiles in general. If a 15 year old girl can do it, you can too: [email protected]

Regardless of how one feels, overly emotional emails that say this guy's a jerk etc. will probably not be taken seriously. Just be polite and explain why this is a bad idea, from an ecological perspective and from a public-image perspective (for both the player and the team).

Beth, IMO a brief chat w/ basic education about what they're doing wrong helps. Just like chris said.
