Rattlesnakes Beheaded by the Hundreds...
A sick, cruel festival in Sweetwater, Texas is
encouraging people to behead helpless rattlesnakes and paint with their blood. This three-day-event, dubbed the Rattlesnake Roundup, rips innocent animals from their own environment to publicly
torture them in front of crowds of people.
The Miss Snake Charmer pageant showcases teenage beauty queen contestants who chop off the pinned-down snakes' heads. For a small fee, attendees, including
children, can decapitate a snake, cover their hands in its blood, and slap a handprint on the white mural.
Animal cruelty should never be encouraged or associated with fun activities for kids.
The event will take place in less than two weeks, so we urgently need your support.
Sign
the petition to urge the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to ban this barbaric event and show that the mass execution of Texas' wildlife will not be tolerated.
