Many people aren't because most people don't encounter it often enough. Unless they're unfortunate enough to live in a dangerous country or, they choose to work high risk jobs.

I'd say trying to protect your cat and yourself from a potentially dangerous animal isn't a bad instinct to have.

I dunno if constricting snakes that size can eat cats? Or if we even have naturally occurring constrictors that big in the USA?

I feel bad for the snake too, but it's not like you told your friend to kill it.
