(haipo) – Vipers are at their peak activity now – they are hungry after hibernation and thirsty for water. Caution is required when walking on a dark path or near bushes.
Vipers are a protected species in Israel. The snake catcher catches the snakes and releases them into the wild, far from the city limits. The snakes are the ones that prey on the rats, so their thinning out in the city, while protecting us from bites, allows the rats to spread.
Snake catcher Dagan Erez explains:
In recent nights (May 2025), vipers have been coming out at night to look for water, after the great heat. It is important to repair leaks and empty standing water. If you encounter a viper at night, keep eye contact and call a snake catcher – Dagan Erez 054-8808300
A stone to the head.
There are too many.
Note that most of the bites and reports come from the Haifa area. I link this to nature's revenge. After all the pigs slaughtered by Mayor Yona Yahav, it seems the vipers are out to take revenge on whoever was responsible for this horrific and unworthy act!!!
You can link this to whatever you want, I don't know how accurate the data you claim is, but it is certainly reasonable and acceptable, considering the geographical layout of Haifa, which is integrated with nature. Note that this happens mainly in the neighborhoods along the seam, those that border nature, the forest line, the grove, you won't see it in Hadar, not in the lower city, again it happens mainly in the neighborhoods along the seam. Haifa is a big city, so it is likely that Haifa will lead in encounters between humans and snakes. By the way, who keeps a snake alive or protects it? Crazy.
The most venomous snakes in the country are in the Knesset... It is urgent to bring in a snake catcher to hunt them and release them into the wild... Recommended in the Amazon...
Not in the Knesset, but in the Shin Bet, in the High Court, in academia, and even in the Bar Association and senior officials in Israel. They are the ones who demonstrate that it is necessary to be shunned and shamed.
Snakes and sharks to eliminate.
There is no shortage of dangers here, even without the snakes and sharks in the sea. Rats and pigs were eliminated at the same time.
Maybe we should start with a baboon like you first?
The world was created by God, as a brilliant ecosystem. Each species has what it eats, and what eats it, that's how the balance in the world is maintained. If you poison rats. The vultures will die when they eat the carcass, etc.
We, too, are part of this ecosystem and need to pay attention to where we step and call a qualified person if we discover such a stressful guest.
And what happens when the land, the soil, the seas and the atmosphere are poisoned? What happens then? Who is harmed further down the biological chain?
Eliminate all the snakes. And as for the rats, you can spray them and they will die too.
You are wrong. Rats are very intelligent animals. If you spray it, it will have no effect at all. If a bunch of food is poisoned, one will eat the poison and die, and all the other dozens of rats in its family will learn to recognize it as poison and not touch it. The most effective way to exterminate rats is by attracting their natural enemies, snakes, nocturnal birds of prey, and cats.
