Snakes are important creatures that serve an vital purpose. They gobble up rodents and mostly stay out of the way. Possums might be a better symbol for the retags. They are thieves, stealing from other creatures, lying when they get caught, sneaking in where they have no right to be. awww, but even possums are just trying to survive. I think maybe Rethugs should be classified as not animal at all. Maybe more like a virus? Most bacteria are helpful so I wouldn't even call them that. But viruses are aggressive and infect everything they can.
