When donating money, supplies, etc please know where it is going and what it will be used for. Corporations like HSUS, ASPCA, PETA, etc will not use your gifts wisely or with good intentions. Help reputable local rescues and shelters. You will see real positive results that way!

Hi, as you can see my mouth has been sewn shut…won’t you please open up your mouth and speak out against this horrific act of animal cruelty? It is repeatedly done over and over to thousands of snakes each year. If you are reading this now and viewing this photograph, chances are I didn’t make it :(

Stop The Madness!! Get involved please!

“It’s just a snake…….., it’s not like it’s a dog or horse or a bird.” Next thing you know, it’s some other stupid reason to hate an animal that has a rightful place on this planet.

Guys, these snakes NEED our help— and badly at that.

I’m astounded at the level of cruelty displayed at these roundups. These animals are first removed from their homes via gasoline in their dens, then they’re lumped into a single container with no access to food, water, or even a place to hide. They are being purchased for as much as $10 PER POUND for an event where they are partially frozen and have their mouths sewn shut.

This year, about 1,700 pounds of rattlesnakes were purchased for the event.

This is stated in a news article… and even one of the event coordinators admits to sewing the mouths shut: 

“The hunt weekend offers a number of novel experiences, such as having a taste of deep-fried rattlesnake meat and the opportunity to have a picture taken with a live rattlesnake.

“They really drape it over your shoulders but they are defanged and their mouths are sewn shut,” England said.”

How no one is doing anything about this legally is beyond me. This is a prime example of animal cruelty and desperately needs to be stopped.

Please remember that during this month, upwards of 10,000 rattlesnakes will die in these roundups. My question for you, is are you going to sit there and just let it happen?

Note:

This activity has been reported to local law enforcement, who deny knowing anything about any alleged “animal cruelty” and are therefore doing nothing to help these animals. Until such a time as they do, we are left to assume that they do not consider this an illegal activity, despite their own laws against mistreating live animals.

These poor creatures are being hunted to the point that I doubt the species will be able to sustain itself… this year, the events were paying as much as $10 per pound on these animals due to how scarce they’re becoming. Then, the poor creatures are subjected to torture… for what? For our own amusement. How sick is that?

The above pictures show that these animals have had their mouths sewn shut so that people can take pictures with them… they ARE alive and aware during this. What makes this practice acceptable with these animals? If it were a dog or a cat, I have no doubt that people would be having a fit, but for a snake? No biggie.

Before people say, “Call PETA/HSUS!”— they have been notified and are “staying out of the issue”. I guess they only have time to attack exotic pet owners, but could care less about the WILD animals that are being tortured… Guess they’re not cuddly enough and therefore “deserve to be eradicated”.

For those interested in joining us against the Rattlesnake Roundups, please, come to our facebook, or even just reblog this to get the word out!

Abandoning a dog means killing it. If you can no longer take care of your pet(s) please find a no-kill rescue or shelter.
