Brad,
Don't be an arse. Every species of herp prodcues a surplus of individuals that can be harvested. I believe that everyone should have a right to harvest their fair share of that surplus.
As for what is done with the animals after they are harvetsed that is up to the individual. I don't like that rattlesnakes are treated badly and I think that abuse should be illegal. However, if people want to eat, wear or display animal parts that is their own business. I don't agree with it and I wouldn't kill an animal for that purpose. However, all of us support the killing of animals and plants for human food consumption.
I personally think that anyone that supplies these markets should get their bag limit fair share but if the demand is to great then those species should be ranched to feed the demand. They should use their fair share bag limits as founder stock to start captive "ranched" programs. Of course if the species in question is an introduced exotic then bag limits should be unlimited.
Was that clear enough for you? Don't be an arse.
