People Killing snakes

[wolfy-hound]

Truth is that some people eat snake meat. Unless you're vegan,(or at least vegetarian) you're a bit of a hypocrite if you're protesting people killing snakes for meat but enjoy a burger or a chicken leg.

I don't mind people killing snakes for meat and skins. I do mind wholesale slaughter of any species when it begins to decimate the populations. I VERY MUCH mind inhumane treatment of any animal, which includes the sewing shut of the mouths of snakes, putting them in freezers, kicking or stomping them...

If they filmed people hunting snakes in a sustainable way, dispatching the animals quickly, then I would have little objection. But when they are glorifying tormenting animals the way the "rattlesnake republic" type shows are depicting, I do have objections. I've sent in emails to Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and my cable channel provider, in addition to the governors of the states that have these "events".

By the way, it's not trolling to state a differing opinion. I'm sure that rat lovers would object when certain people say "Just kill them, they're just rats", but that doesn't mean the person is trolling to say kill the rodents you want to use as food for your snake either.
