Please post a response/complaint about this article. Though it's stupid, and angering, let's keep it polite or reasonable so they have no reason to remove our posts!!

Stupid crap like this makes me...many emotions. Let's make a fuss.

Although they are harmless and eat other small pests such as insects and rodents, they may instill fear in the residents around the area.

Wow, they even state they're harmless and beneficial to the environment BUT KILL IT ANYWAY BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN'T WEAR THEIR BIG KID PANTS.

Seriously, this is the stupidest eHow I've ever seen, ever.

Disgusting article. Made a reply and posted to face book. Many of my friends are in wildlife rehab and animal rescue. Hopefully that page will be inundated with negative responses and get removed.

Quite ridiculous to kill something because it simply scares someone... I fail to understand why someone even thought it was a good idea to make an article like this. :angry:

I got some of my friends to also send emails. This morning the article is not opening. If you do a search on ehow it is in the list but won't open! Fingers crossed that once they review the article it will be removed permanently.

Sometime a little affirmative action helps. Good job.

I got an email also. That was great getting so many to respond so quickly. I was also happy to see ehow respond so quickly to the complaints as well. More often than not different agencies/sites will ignore complaints.

Just about to say the same thing. I am glad it has been taken down. Garter snakes are harmless, and to kill them is ridiculous.
