The world's largest rattlesnake roundup is held near here every March.
I have heard horrible, inhumane things about that.


All i see is poor little bambi .
not to me though, I think it's sad
Well, it is sad. Mainly because it is right in front of our faces, we can't look away. But, in reality, it is no more sad than the killing of the chicken or the cow or the pig or the turkey we had for dinner tonight. We can just be in denial about those animals, because the killings happens far away, and we just get the meat in a nice little package from the supermarket. Actually, killing a deer or bison or elk is much LESS sad and cruel than killing a chicken or cow, in my opinion, because the wild animal at least had a normal natural life before it was killed in a fast, humane manner. Unlike factory farmed animals.
