RAMROD 117,062 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 A Texas woman was attacked by a hawk and a snake at the same time after the bird - which eats snakes - accidentally dropped the wriggling serpent on her. Peggy Jones, 64, was mowing her lawn last month when a passing hawk dropped a snake on her before swooping down to angrily try to reclaim its meal. The snake wrapped itself around her arm and began striking her face as the bird sunk its talons deep into her flesh. The terrifying ordeal left her with cuts and bruising to her arm and face. The bizarre incident took place on 25 July in the town of Silsbee, Texas, near the Louisiana border. It began after a snake suddenly fell out of the sky and landed on her. Before she could remove it, the hawk attack began. The hawk struggled to remove the snake from Mrs Jones body, stabbing her with its talons repeatedly as it attempted to snatch back its food. Eventually the snake was pulled from her arm, leaving her startled husband to drive her to the hospital. "There were puncture wounds, cuts, abrasions, scratches and severe bruising," she said, adding that the snake's attacks to her face damaged her glasses. Mrs Jones described the attack as severely traumatic, adding that she thought she was going to die and has had trouble sleeping since it happened. She told CBS that living in rural Texas, she is no stranger to wildlife encounters. "I've actually seen a hawk pick up a snake. That's something they do, that's how they kill their prey," she said. But now, she says, its something that she will always keep in mind. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66446697 New fear unlocked (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"this poor lady has like biblically bad luck/karma" or it would be some parable about owning and maintaining land but neglecting your neighbor's... so the venom from her spite was dropped on her like a snake from a hawk, and then the hand of holy judgment tore her flesh as the talons of the hawk. idk the bible sucks.
