Weigh in on Rattlesnake Republic?

[Rickyrick]

Use of gasoline has been prohibited as a means of hunting snakes. It is no longer allowed. Also, in the past, snake hunting did not require a license, now illegal to hunt them without a license.

Public land in Texas is almost non-existent. That means you can't hunt without landowners permission and that equates to a substantial fee paid by the hunter.

These hunters are few, hunting is either for monetary reasons or recreation. Lots of things are done for monetary reasons. Hunting is part of human history. Humans damage the environment. No one stops driving their cars, eating, wearing clothes, posting to the Internet and goes and lives off of the land. The tv that you watched the show on, the computer you posted to this forum on damaged the environment more than a handful of snake hunters ever could.

In Texas we half to kill wild pigs by the scores and pile them up, all due to human error. Pigs love to eat rattlesnakes. This ain't Disneyland. This is real life. The show is only a dramatization, that's it, nothing more.

Who hunted the snakes and other pets that u have living under glass? How much power do the lamps heaters and filters use? Are they truly better off for being captive?

Items made of hides and fur are way more environmentally friendly than all of the synthetic stuff that replaces it.

So how much stick do you own in that show?

And yet, both still happen...

and yet, people still see the need to hunt and kill indigenous species that are eaten by an invasive when the populations of the native is already in decline, how smart is that?

The breeder when he pulled the eggs from the snakes that he has raised from eggs. Or, in very rare cases for the majority of people that own snakes now-a-days, a "farm" owner in the country where the species originates from. Perhaps you should learn a little about that process before spouting off about it.
Re: power for lamps, heaters, and filters, depends, my personal collection uses 72 watts

You won't get any argument from me but there's a catch, this is only true when the animals are collected in a somewhat humane manor(that's a stretch in the best cases) and euthanized in a similar manor. I have no probably with hunting as long as the entire animal is used and the process isn't crueler than it needs to be.
