Are you angry?

Words cannot express how I feel after seeing that.

ummm.... woah.

I think I'll wait awhile before even clicking on that link. I'm way more sensitive in the mornings. I just have to hear/read the words "rattlesnake roundup" and my jaw gets tight with anger.

That's disgusting and in no way neccessary. I can't wait until these morons start getting overrun by rats and other rodents.

Course then they will probably stand around scratching their heads wondering why there is so many rodents :roll:

Just plain horrible...........what a waste :x

Same here....I have no idea what to even say.
I 'accompanied' some of my friends to the church a few weeks ago to do a reptile 'show' to raise money for the church.
They wanted to borrow one of my geckos.
And my cousin has a 5 foot Columbian red tail boa, 2 ball pythons, an iguana (who she obviously left at home) and a cornsnake. And she borrowed her sisters leopard gecko.
My friend has a ball python, a coumbian red tail boa, a cornsnake, a milksnake, 3 bearded dragons and a leopard gecko.
All these old women kept coming in the room and yelling at us.
One commented that she wished she had brought her ho.
Not a ho like she's a pimp.
We just sort of ignored her and talked to the woman in charge of the church fundraiser type thing.
Yea, people are so stupid now-a-days.
Bye.

I saw one of these "round ups" on the Discovery channel a couple of months ago and was horrified to see this going on. Whats the point in this? I couldn't believe that if this can't be stopped, there aren't any regulations as to how many snakes could be caught!

Just like MacWin said, they won't know what hit them when they are over run with rodents! Just ask the people in Austrailia about the plauge of mice that hits them every year, and they don't even do round ups there!!

Well enough ranting! I did check into this to see what could be done, but never got any answers. Wonder why?? :roll:

Well, now I'm mad.

It wrong that the government looks the other way on this, just because WDR's aren't protected under the endangered species act.....
