What a horrible thing to do, for the turtles AND the rattle snakes, some people dont deserve to live treating gods creatures in this way.

They should in all seriousness hold a rodeo here, but for the damned cane toad!

Apparently this ridiculous ritual of gathering Rattlesnakes is running the risk of endangering the very existance of these animals in certain parts. I'd love to spray these morons out of house and home in a bathing of kero and see how they bloody like it !! :evil:

I had seen a show on the discovery channel about these Rattle snake round ups. If they did not kill the animals after the show it could be a very informative way of teaching people about snakes.

Not that I could find, Inny. I imagine it would be very difficult to get accurate numbers. Even a scientific study would probably only come up with an estimate, and would involve digging up (=destroying) a lot of burrows.
