Rattlesnake roundups are a sick and twisted act that kill thousands of rattlesnakes every year they need 10,000 sigs to help stop it.

http://www.petitiononline.com/roundups/

the round up kills over 2 tons of snake that caught the weekend of the round up . with over 2 ton caught ever year.untill we can find a way for these little towns to make the same kind of money or get the state to change the law the roundups will go on.the state is now making money off out of state lic sales so they see as a money maker too.(ps these animals are beheaded on show to the public and made into various items of clothing and sold
For many, if not most, rattlesnake roundups, snakes are driven out of their hiding places with gasoline, stored in unhygienic conditions without water or food, and packed tightly into containers for transport to and display at roundups. Many snakes arrive at roundups crushed to death, dehydrated, or starved. Those who survive may be used in cruel public demonstrations and daredevil acts, and are eventually decapitated, an inefficient and cruel method of slaughter for reptiles.

It is a fact that the meat from rattlesnakes served to the public at the roundup in Otero County is not inspected by any health agency, and is offered to the public with great risk. The "chopping block" and surrounding area where rattlesnakes are killed to later cook is extremely unsanitary, and people who consume this meat are at risk for contracting salmonella and other diseases.

Either way, that doesn't mean we have to like it, I am glad I signed it dispite their beliefs in snakes.

Snakes are all part of god creatures just the same as you and me.

My religion tells me I shouldn't have sex before marriage, I should confess my sins in church, I should worship the pope ect ect...that dont mean I have to follow this!

how useless and disgusting to do that to snakes
Chris_com28
You sound off. I didn't mean to upset you or anything. I was just commenting on how they had all that information on how unhealthy it is for hte participants. Almost as if their reason for the petition is to save the lives of the people who like to beat snakes to death.

No I didn't sound off LOL It would take more than that to make me do so.

The reason for the petition is to put a stop to killing the snakes

Peace out

i wont sign it.....survival of the fitess.
Chris_com28
So I'm guessing you'd be ok if someone stuffed you in a glass jar. Took you to a big event and beat you to death. I also guess you wouldn't care if a gang went and killed all the weaker members of your family to keep the gene pool pure.
xstortionist
well, this is how i can reply to what you just said. Send somebody to "try" and put me in a jar or even attempt to hurt my family lol. intil then My opinion stands firm. Or how about you go down there and protest infront of these people who do this...and see what happens.
Chris_com28
Don't turn it into one of those. I was asking a question, not starting an e-fight.
frogfish
Ha, survival of the fitest? They kill them because they are scared....why not have animals jiust strat murdering people, but no, we have to hunt down those "rogue" crocs, tigers, and bears...
xstortionist
we choose to do what we want to do...Decisions are never limited. So if somebody wants to go burn ants with a magnefying glass....can he not do it?
Chris_com28
If some one better than you wants to rip you to pieces can they not do it? It's easy to allow it to happen to someone else but not so easy to allow it to happen to you under the same idea.
xstortionist
if they wish to rip me to pieces they can....but it's very doubtful it would happen...now ripping snakes to pieces is very probable scenerio.

Clearly all someone has to do is find Barry White, get him to sing and put the speakers on the ground. Then all the snakes can go live in your house grin2.gif!.


I love the sexy slither of a lady snake...Ohhh yaaa
