Fun Fact Friday

Our Mission Statement

This group is primarily dedicated to getting restrictions placed on rattlesnake roundups in order to ensure sustainable populations. We, as conservationists, understand that a realistic balance between biologists and the public needs to be met so that the communities dependent upon these events will not be left economically unstable. We also promote the significance and humane treatment of all herpetofauna.

WE ARE NOT AN EXTREMIST GROUP. WE WILL APPROACH GROUPS IN CHARGE OF SNAKE HUNTS WITH RESPECT IN ORDER TO GET RESPECT. WE USE SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS AS THE BASE OF OUR ARGUMENTS, NOT UNCONTROLLED EMOTIONS.

We endorse the position of The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
