You still haven't answer the question: what's the difference between a
beneficial snake & a destructive mountain biker?

It's IMPOSSIBLE to mountain bike without killing animals & plants,
hence they are murderers: they do it deliberately. They should know
better.

You still haven't answered the question: " In the case of mountain
bikers, what IS the difference, except that the snake is beneficial,
and the mountain biker is just destructive?". Admit it: you CAN'T.

The number of letters? Perhaps the spelling? Your turn, what is the correct
answer.

You provide an OPINION. Provide evidence and PROOF that off-road cyclists
deliberately kill anything. The "deliberate" activity of riding is not the
same thing as the "deliberate" activity of killing. You have yet to provide
anything that proves all off-road cyclists ride in such a way that death is
a by-product of any higher incidence than any other activity. You have only
posted extreme instances highlighting unfortunate accidents or a renegade
minority of the whole of the otherwise respectfull majority.
*Either respond to the total context, or by not doing so, acknowledge that
the context is true.

No evidence from a scientific source. Only split context to spout your
opinion. Therefore it is taken as fact you can not provide scientific
foundation for your statements.

It's really not that complicated.
BTW, I'm not a mountain biker right now. I'm riding a chair. So that makes
me a violent chair rider. In a minute I'm getting more coffee...............
