What does everybody think of this?

MANTAFISH Aug 03, 2007 11:26 PM

Don't know if everybody has seen this and I'm shure some of you have but wow!!..http://www.snakebusters.net/
I don't believe in venomoids.. They do. I personally feel that this may still be a little risky in one aspect or another. Its seems almost circus like to me. I think I should take a stance here because kids are involved. Maybe its educational and maybe its to preserve animals in the wild but maybe a bit off kilter. I don't like the circus.

That's one of the most ridiculous things I've read in a long time!

They obviously do not know how to use tongs properly or how to pad them with rubber or sponge.

Conservation through Education

Yea, I'm not even what I would call a professional venomous handler and it was obvious they were not using correct procedure among other bad techniques in handling venomous, thats weither their venomoid or not. It seems like exploitation with education used as cover.
