Detailed Answer :
The poem, ‘Snake’ reminds us of the fact that animals too have a right to life which we have no right to deny them. One should always listen to the voice of conscience that does not allow us to play with these brainless and innocent creatures. Man cannot afford to tamper with ecology as it has been carefully planned and laid out by nature and it may result in the extinction of wild animals and in the depletion of forests and their wealth. Further man will have to face dire consequences like landslides, floods , droughts and famines if he harms the ecological balance. Nature has supplied the living creatures with abundant resources and man in particular has been able to co-exist with the least discomfort. So it is our moral duty to have mutual respect for these creatures and believe in the principle of Peaceful Co-existence.
