: "everything about the roundups are cruel, first...they rip them out of their homes, do you know how they do this? They dump gasoline into their holes to flush them out, contaminating that area for years to come, no other snake can then use that den, or a rodent can't use it either."

: I don't know this for sure. I have asked the question on the field collecting forum, but if you could give me some references, that would be good. What I want to know is if every participant in the roundups uses gas to flush the snakes out of their den.

: "Then they beat them around with snake hooks, to show the public how "evil" and mean they are."

: Could you please define "beat" for me? I have never been to a roundup, so I don't know what kind of treatment the snakes get before they're killed.

: "Then they drown them, no, they don't kill them quickly and painlessly, they drown them."

: That may be true in some cases, but I saw video of a roundup where they were decapitating the snakes, so drowning obviously isn't the only method used.

: "That's CRULE!!! and inhumane."

: Actually, drowning isn't painful.

: "If they want to eat them, breed them in captivity. Just like a cow/pig/chicken etc."

: Well, I can't really get on their case for collecting them from the wild. I eat fish that were removed from the wild, live in a house made of wood that was harvested from nature, etc. so I can't really complain.

: "Theirs going to be massive overpopulation of mice and rats now, I hope all of the rodents carry the hantavirus and kill of all the rednecks!!!"

: I would like to know if there have been any studies done on the effects of roundups on rattlesnake populations. Until I see some proof that they are causing a decline in rattlesnake populations, I can't comment on that.
