A lot of generalizations have been made in this thread, but generalizations are just that: generalizations and nothing more. Animal cruelty is everywhere, regardless of where you live. As animal lovers it's our job to try to help put an end to it, not point the finger at whoever the biggest hypocrite is (which yeah I did start but it was still an awesome point). Texas sucks for killing the rattlesnakes, Canada sucks for clubbing baby seals, Mexico sucks for bull fighting, Thailand sucks for bear baiting. It all just sucks. That's it.

Hey, you can't say "Canada sucks for clubbing baby seals" when only a part of Canada(the faaaaar north with the Inuits and stuff where they use it for food, shelter, etc) kills them(Unless you're talking about the people who do it for sport and such. If so, I wasn't aware it was that big of a problem. I thought it was outlawed). If you're gonna say it like that, you should replace Texas with USA.
Anyway....I'm off to take a few swigs of Pepto-Bismol..I feel ill after visiting that site. It's one thing to harvest all those snakes for their skin, meat, and venom. But to make a big County Fair-like event out of it....sickens me.

Hello all,
Here are a few more links. Many have ideas on what to do if you would like to put a stop to the roundups.

that link made me mad and sad at the same time. i've never felt this mix of emotions before. it's weird.
it's more mad than sad though. it also makes me mad when people come into where i work and they look at the snakes and then, after looking at all of them, they say 'the only good snake is a dead snake.' and then they proceed to talk about how they found a wild snake in their yard and they took a rake to it. Even though I'm 99% sure that it was harmless to them. especially around here, where the only chance of seeing a venomous snake is seeing a cottonmouth.
yeah, that was my rant.

I think my appetite for dinner has been successfully quelled. And then to add insult to injury, the poor Harp Seals. I remember seeing a brutal documentary on Harp Seal clubbing when I was a child. My parents were away on a trip and I sat and cried at my bedroom window b/c I was so disturbed by what my innocent eyes had just witnessed. All I wanted was my Mommy!!
All of this is senseless, brutal, abuse of innocent animals...I'm overwhelmed w/anger!!!!! :evil:

TOO good of an eater?!
The sad thing about it is I have seen up close and personal people get shot and killed and was fine. I looked at this and my stomach just turned, to think of the ignorant people behind this "event" and the fact that it is just fine with most poeple.

i emailed the news place thingy. heres what i said.
i dont know when this article was published, and i dont know where to send this letter so im sending it here. if there is an appropriate place for this, please forward it there. the whole idea of this snake round up thing is flat out cruel. you all should be arrested for animal cruelity. they were there before you ever were, so let them be. how would you like it if a bunch of snakes hunted you down and chopped your head off? i hope you guys feel proud of yourself for hunting something smaller than you down and killing it.
what you guys think?
