How do you kill what you cannot see?

You kill the ones you can see because of the ones you cannot? Makes absolutely no sense.

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

6/16/21 6:34pm

Because we like what rattlesnakes eat even less than rattlesnakes.

Hawks, falcons, owls, foxes, coyotes, snakes, bobcats, cats, traps, D-con. Must suck to be a mouse.

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

Sorry, YouTube search—not Google.

Probably in part to deter the idiot from getting himself bit.

There is a mutation of rattle snakes without rattles. So we want to keep the ones that rattle reproducing rather than

Mutated rattlesnakes? E yikes

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

My people call them copperheads.

There aren't that many left. All of the building has destoyed the habitat

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

Lots of habitat west and east of the Wasatch Front.

Holy well fed

Why would you kill one otherwise?

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

DraperCoug22

6/16/21 6:49pm

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

6/16/21 7:21pm

Yeah, they eat a ton of mice.

DraperCoug22

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?

CougGolf

6/16/21 6:52pm

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

Echoing what has already been said: (1) They serve a purpose and (2) There…

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

rad dawg

6/16/21 7:28pm

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

Brisco

6/16/21 8:05pm

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

6/16/21 8:23pm

We need more.

6/16/21 8:27pm

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

6/16/21 11:26pm

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

DraperCoug22

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