When or if there are Rattlesnake Roundups in or near Belen (Alamogordo: sale, closing)

[AnthonyMartinez]

Are there any near?

If there are, boycott them. Moderator cut: Name calling, slur, attacks objectionable word etc

“Rattlesnake roundups” are contests calling for hunters to bring in as many snakes as they can catch in a year, at which point the snakes are slaughtered and sold for skin and meat. As far as I am aware, seven states still host these killing contests: Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

The reason Is I want to aquire a couple of diamondbacks.

I want live ones though... I would take Dead frozen specimens to study. But I actually want live ones as pets.

I thought it was a snake catching contest.

Not a snake massacre. It wouldnt be the first diamondback i have had for a season. They are just so beautiful
