Snakes get stuck at the border wall, too

We were able to get a copy of the short video we referred to in yesterday's post- it was shot on a small digital camera so the quality is a little less than fantastic- but, hell, you get the idea: THE BORDER WALL SUCKS FOR WILDLIFE.

This snake was stymied by the wall on a National Park unit and Wilderness Area. The design of the fence was "wildlife friendly," but why would a snake know that a few meters away there was a small gap? It was simply dumbfounded by its inability to get through, and it stayed there, bumping along the grid for as long as the photographer could stand to look at it.

Everyday, dozens of little tragedies add up to one big disaster.
