Walking Dead kills Rattlesnake

[angllady2]

Well, if it was an actual rattlesnake, and they did kill and eat it, what is wrong with that?

How is it any different than a squirrel, a rabbit, fish, a deer or any other animal they have killed on film for the purpose of a similar scene?

As long as it was done quickly, and the snake didn't suffer needlessly for a long time leading up to the scene, then so be it.

I know as snake lovers, and in particular when it comes to things that even resemble mistreatment of snakes, like Sweetwater's Rattlesnake Roundup, we tend to be a little less forgiving and a little quicker to jump to battle. But be honest with yourself, do you feel the same way when a scene showing people fishing and then cleaning and eating the fish comes on ?

I know I've seen squirrel and rabbits hunted, killed and eaten on television before. The deer thing might be faked, but it might not be every single time, I think it's possible actual deer have been hunted and killed once or twice.

Now please don't get me wrong, I am not condoning making any animal suffer needlessly, just for a stupid television show or movie. But I don't think going off the deep end over something like this is a good thing either.
