>>In Sweetwater Texas they have rattlesnake roundups where they behead dozens of them with a knife and the kids soak their hands in the blood and leave souvenir hand prints on the wall. Until we can stop that, let’s not give smit to a guy who killed one rattlesnake in his rabbit hutch that just killed his pet.

Soooooo because sweetwater celebrates in animal torture, we should ignore when a reptile owner comes here bragging of killing a snake?

I always hope we are above the killing. That we as reptile owners understand the natural world and that we are infringing on habit and need to learn to co-exist. That a snake in the wild killing a captive prey item is natural. And reptile owners, especially owners of snakes, would have the ability to relocate an animal rather than completely mauling it.
