Look i understand the argument but there are 2sides to this coin. As long as there is human population growth there is going to be the need to keep wildlife numbers in check. Now the way its done may be suspect but it needs to be done. Here in virginia i do alot of deer hunting on a few farms i have leases on. I have dmap permits which allows me to kill alot of deer. The dmap is a management tool to keep the population under control. Now 90%of the meat i take is donated to hunters for the hungry so it goes to a good cause. Rattlesnakes are over populating texas just like hogs are. They need to do something to keep numbers to a manageable number. Again im not agreeing with methods of dispatching these snakes but its a necessary evil. People move into snake country and public safety becomes a concern. Safety of livestock is also a concern. I hunt in texas and in some areas the hogs and the rattlers are way out of control. I hunted one ranch where if we didnt get the deer out before dark we werent allowed to go retrieve it till morning cause the snakes were that bad. You have to think about this subject with an open mind
