The SHHS is holding a poll concerning controversial practices in venomous herpetoculture. Venomoids are on the list. This is an opportunity for everyone to cast their vote and voice their opinions on these practices.

Voted gee wonder what i checked off.... I still find it repulsive that of all groups the SHHS allows venomoids on their site. Did they change their name to the Southern HOT or venomoid Society. This would be one group I would have expected to firmly plant their feet and say ONLY HOTS.

I voted, we were up to 77%. Even though there were other issues on the list, I HATE the people who create and purchase these poor beasts. I would like to remove some of their body parts as well.....

Freehandling is the runner up, Personnally also not my favorite ...

But hey, at least freehandlers don't hurt their animals ;)

BTW I just voted for venomoids as well. I didn't realize that people out there devenomed their hot snakes unitil I read a book that I just bought. Sickening. Lets take out these "Hot" owners saliva glands and see how they fare. I don't keep hots myself but still if you are gonna do it then change your methods not your animals!

Just voted it's at 70% 64 votes

I don't agree with free handling either but venimoids is way worse. The snakes have no voice in the matter, but if you freehandle it's your own choice.

Even though i don't own any hots, i have read about it and i'm totally against the practice of removing venom glands for human safety purposes. Therefore i have also cast my vote on venomoids...

This topic should be brought to the General Discussion forum so everyone can show their support. Not many people come here...
