Don't see what the big deal is. He posted the pic below on instagram and facebook. And some of these folks got real mad.

Several users reminded Willis that gopher snakes eat mice and gophers. "U inhumane niner," one wrote. "Why did U kill him?" another asked.
Of course some fans came to the All-Pro's defense, too, pointing out that snakes are scary to some people and can be misidentified. (And who among us hasn't used a mouse trap now and then?)
As of Monday evening, Willis had not answered his detractors but he did write with the photos, "Never a dull moment. I had an intruder in my house welcome to the hills....... Got em."
UPDATE: PETA emailed the following statement to The Huffington Post: "PETA thinks that a beloved, 240-pound linebacker can find a more humane way to remove a nonvenomous snake from his homeand he certainly doesn't need to brag about it online. Patrick Willis lives in the Pacific gopher snake's natural habitat, and they don't want to be in our homes anymore than we want them thereso it's important that we learn to coexist peacefully. We hope that Willis can find a kinder way to defend his home in the future, and PETA is happy to offer him some humane options."





I would have shot that shyt too I don't fukk with snakes.
