Snake in India!

Snakes have a major impact on India and its culture. Before the Indian government made it illegal to hunt snakes in 1970s, people would hunt them on a daily basis. They would kill them and use their skin to make something, or sell it to a leather company. After that law, their community fell apart. Rather than letting that happen; they would go out and instead of killing them they would only capture them. Then, they would melt the venom out of them and use it as an antidote. Snakes can be found all over India, and they also have helped shape their culture in many ways.
