There is a mutation of rattle snakes without rattles. So we want to keep the ones that rattle reproducing rather than
Give the mutated rattlesnakes evolutionary advantage to they become the predominant version of the species. That would be bad...

Why are rattlesnakes protected in Utah? You're not allowed to kill them

Because we like what rattlesnakes eat even less than rattlesnakes.

I don’t know that dude. But Google “mouse infestation Mali Australia” if you want to see a good infestation.

Because they don't want people to kill them just to kill them

They can also swarm in tornado’s, or “snakenado’s” if you will.

In Utah the populations are generally healthy. But certainly in developed areas

Lots of habitat west and east of the Wasatch Front.

Why would you kill one otherwise?

As a big fan of all wildlife, especially reptiles, most animals deserve to

Cool. But do they really eat that many mice? Reptiles can go a long time without eating. Foxes can’t. And snakes aren’t.
Brisco

Yeah, they eat a ton of mice.

Plus, there are a lot more rattlesnakes than the other predatory mammals.

Can we get an exception to kill the ones that don’t make a warning rattle?

Yeah, there are quite a few that don’t rattle unless you really harass them.

Watched a YouTube video of a guy with several venomous snakes.

I can’t imagine a situation where you have to kill one in self defense.

Your point about not seeing them is why you kill them.

More snakes , yes, more rattle snakes..no. unless all thevrzttler lovers agree

They’re almost always minding their own business and not hurting anyone…

Snakes are poisonous because they are the most fragile animals out there.

How do you kill what you cannot see?
