Rattlesnake Round Up

[boogerbob]

As someone who hunts I don't really have a problem with killing animals as long as it's for a purpose other than trophy hunting. The whole festival/spectacle part of the round ups I find rather distasteful, but I don't see them going to waste in pits or anything, and the wild populations seem rather healthy, so as long as it's not putting them on an endangered list and it's not affecting my life directly I don't see it as my business at all

Well said. As a hunter I echo your statement. You kill it you eat it. That's like people who poach deer. I get so sick of poachers killing deer just for the antlers and leave the body to rot. It makes me furious.

As far as rattlesnakes are concerned, there are rattlers here in Missouri but you don't see them a lot. There's no concern for a round up.
