In this video, we see evidence that snakes are subjected to treatment such as having their mouths sewn shut which makes it impossible for them to eat. Also the repeated handling causes a lot of stress which is harmful for the animal. Waurika OK, April 2011
This is the video of the same snake I handled that had it's mouth sewn shut. The limpness in its body tells me that it's exhausted and probably close to death from stress or lack of water.
Holding a snake with it's mouth sewn shut. They do this by putting it in the freezer.
One of the cruelest things about a rattlesnake roundup
More teens slaughtering their own snakes. Hideous and unsanitary.
If I remember correctly, I taped this part of pavement to show where a large crotalus atrox had been pinned. The animal was well over 5' which is huge for this species and the pinning almost squashed it to death.
This kid's dad was the barefoot guy who pinned the snake I ended up handling. He was a pretty nice guy. I would like to talk to him more when he's not entertaining. Got the idea that he was rather fond of these animals. Maybe we can talk him into getting them water bowls.
These people are drinking CROWN ROYAL with Western Diamondback Gall Bladders in it. Not only does the butcher shop deny the risk of salmonella (the alcohol kills it) but the meat at Okeene in 2011 is $25 per lb. Yikes, what happened to the $10 per lb. in Apache 3 weeks earlier? Oh yeah, they have to import snakes into Okeene now, they actually admit this in other videos! And I do believe I start encouraging women in the crowd to try it, but these people are all hitting the same bottle!
