In this video when he sets the snakes back down on the floor you can see the snakes retreat to try and avoid human contact. They aren't showing any aggressive behavior. The rattlers are going off because they perceive these people to be the aggressors, not the other way around. Leave these snakes alone and they have no interest in humans !!
we have had a major job of protecting our snakes and the hobby without these people teaching others that snakes are mean and aggressive. I almost feel sorry for these people because their perception and teachings are so warped !!!
Another thing I find funny, I have encountered a few dozen of these in swamps and I have never had one approach me. They have always tried to get away. More misinformation being spread at these inhumane festivals.
For every person who dies worldwide from venomous snakebite, over 350 human lives are saved by medicines made from snake venom. Rattlesnake Roundups are a travesty.
It amazes me how people can spend one day torturing and making a mockery out of some of God's most fascinating animals and wake up and go to church the next day. Not only are rattlesnake round-ups cruel and inhumane, they are also very destructive to the environment. Habitats are thoughtlessly destroyed. Gasoline is sprayed into dens and burrows, driving snakes out, but this also kills many other animals that use them as shelter. Humans use and abuse this snake for their entertainment. No water?
Sad, there is no water or shelter provided to the animals in this video.
