Rattlesnakes might save your backyard from development too, NIMBY!

Rattlesnakes should be treated with love and respect. Where they are threatened and legally protected, they can stop the spread of McMansions and save wild lands.

(NIMBY: "not in my backyard") Let's all think of the world as our "backyard" and say "NIMBY" to everything that destroys nature because of greed, expediency, or wanton "I don't give a shitness." While this might seem offensive to eco-advocates, the point is not to make the world look like a backyard, it's to spread a sense of responsibility and caring. If someone dumps a pile of poison in your backyard to make themselves a pile of money, would you stand by with the usual response of "Fuck it"? I didn't think so. So, let's try to care about the natural world as much as we would or do care about our "backyards."
