People Killing snakes

The deer lovers say the same thing about hunters. Vegans say the same thing everytime you eat a burger

It's just a snake. No different from a cow, pig, chicken, or head of lettuce. As long as you eat it or use it in some way who cares.

I don't care about leather or crocodile skin etc but I get pissed off when I see snake skin.

What makes them different. None of them are people, none of them have souls, and I'm sure all of them are delicious.

Because it's a snake and I love snakes. It's all in how you look at it. You see just another animal but I don't see it that way.

Killing animals doesn't bother me. I've killed my fair share of animals so I'm a little jaded.
However, it's the methods used to kill exotics/factory farm animals that I'm against. It is not a humane killing. Many of these animals suffer greatly before death.

All subjective. How do you define a soul?
What gives a human a soul and not an animal?

Haha im with you on that Mike!

As far as the Rattlesnake Repubic show goes, i enjoy watching them catch the rattlers, though i block out what happens to them later. But when something gets overpopulated you have to do something to contain it. Im pretty sure theres a deer and quail forum somewhere online with people whinning about people killing them also.

I personally look forward to going snake hunting this spring, catching and releasing of course! I enjoy watching snakes in their natural habitat and watching how they react to humans.

Don't feed the trolls

I did a lot of research on rattlesnake roundups for a persuasive speech in my GE speech class. I will tell you this. There are 8,000 rattlesnake bites a year across the US and 2 are fatal (almost always when people do not seek medical attention). The majority of bite victims are males ages 18-24 and roughly 60% of those bites involve alcohol. The rest of the majority of bites occur when an individual is attempting to kill the snake, as they are required to enter its strike range to do so. A shockingly small percentage of bites occur to hikers in rural areas. Moral of the story, beer does have magical properties that turn you into Steve Irwin and the best way to not get bit by a venomous snake is to not get near it.

I live in northern California and I see rattlers every summer. I was raised to watch my step and be aware of my surroundings. Seeing a rattlesnake is really cool! They are neat animals and they will not hurt you if you give them space. If you frolic through weeds and rock piles and reach your hands into crevices, you will get yourself into trouble.
