The post says deaths in _houses_ increased due to snake habitat destruction that drove them there. It suggests that could be because of snake death awareness raised by the bounty system, but that feels a step too removed to call it an "unintended consequence".

It's not due to a perverse incentive regardless, though, which is what the original anecdote is supposed to exemplify.

One imagines that the goal was to decrease deaths of people regardless of whether they're inside or outside of houses.
