Quite a few laws and regulations are violated during these activities. Most participants do not have the proper TP&W permits (I've checked). Cruelty laws are violated, FDA Regulations in regards to food (rattlesnakes soaked in gasoline being fed to the public), and gasoline leaching into are water table is a violating TCEQ Regulations.
