I can see NOTHING positive in those round-ups.

I can't stand outdoor cats that mess in other peoples yards, hunt down songbirds and so on. They are a pest, in my eyes (unlike barn cats or indoor cats).
However, if we were to round em up, kill em and put them on the grill, how would that be looked upon ?? Not to favorable.

As for killing a snake, simply to eat it (if need be). Well, I eat meat, so who am I to talk. But to kill just for a good ole time, no matter what gets
destroyed, thats just wrong. And to make such a festival (spectacle) out of it, disgusting.

If there was a snake problem, there should be other ways to deal with it. Not in a public, cruel and destructive way.

Def see things your way too...I'm surprised they make such a big deal about killing animals, but as also said before, you can't stop something that's been going on that long.

So yall think this is similar to what's happening with the pythons and boas around florida (just maybe not as public)???
