I'm dutch and signed long time ago so it should be possible.

[guidofatherof5]

When I was little my mother would say "keep it up mister and you're going to be in Dutch with me". I knew I wasn't going to like that.:D
She was from Pennsylvania so I'm wondering if it's a saying she picked up there.

[GarField000]

LOL Steve.

I would love to live near radixville :) .....
We don't have any thamnophis or corns running around in nature.

[Lisa4john]

I signed it too. I do not believe in any "sport" hunting, fishing or whatever kills animals because they are there or like elephants for the ivory, or animals for fur coats, that kinda thing. Food or to save a life of a person being attacked is one thing, but needless killing is wrong and not meant to be a sport. We live in such a desensitized world, life just doesn't mean what it should anymore, not even human life, so sad.

[katach]

Well said Lisa.

[Invisible Snake]

Another despicable show..

Can't those people start playing with guns or electricity instead?

[ProXimuS]

Those poor snakes are probably freezing and scared:( No wonder they're trying to climb out.....


That is a stupid show...Never heard of it, but regardless of the mistreatment of snakes, thats a dumb idea for a show....

Or a toaster.

[EasternGirl]

Yep...there are no good reality shows that we can watch in which idiots are electrocuted...lol. My son watches some dumb kids' show...I can't remember the name of it...it's British I think...the kids have to go through all of these scary obstacles...there is usually a room where it is dark and there is a python they have to get by...the contestants are always screaming and freaking out and the python is just sitting there doing nothing. He's probably thinking "Bloody idiots!"...that is if he is a British snake...lol.

[guidofatherof5]

Here are a few titles of programs available to the discerning public.:D

Beard Wars

Redneck Rehab

Redneck Island.

You forgot Duck Dynasty!

Didn't forget. Just figured it was not as idiotic as the others.:D

[d_virginiana]

Probably right :p

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Over head there's a show called "I'm a celebrity get me out of here!" It a show where Z-list celebrities go to Australia and have to complete challenges that involve having buckets of cockroaches and meal worms thrown on their heads ect I watched it once and I swear I heard my brain cells screaming in agony :rolleyes:

That sounds good, but you haven't LIVED until you've seen an episode of Honey Boo Boo.
Hands down the best example of why educational networks shouldn't go private.

Also the best example why there should be contraceptives in the drinking water. Not that I believe that anyone in that family drinks water.

[guidofatherof5]

I can honestly say I've never watch that show. Saw a promo for it and that was enough.
:D

[katach]

I watched part of a show, and the look on the father's face when the little brat talks makes me think that he would have said yes to that glass if water had he known then what he knows now.

[-MARWOLAETH-]

I grew up watching Attenborough and other tidy documentaries on BBC and channel 4 instead of the drivel on animal planet ect Looking back I'm glad my parents couldn't afford cable.

[Kasturi]

Thanks for posting this. I accidentally turned on rattlesnake republic a few nights ago. I didn't know what it was. Disgusting.

Absolutely

Something else on the slightly different topic of Rattlesnake Roundups, I have some bad news that I just saw on TV. Usually people in Rattlesnake Roundups are not EXTREMELY experienced, and do not look for visual signs to find their rattlesnakes. Instead, they move their snake tongs around and listen for the characteristic rattle. Now, some herpetologists believe that because of this elimination of noisy rattlers, they are starting to evolve into a rattlesnake that does not like to rattle. This is because while the ones that warn people of their presence are being killed off! As if it is not obscene enough that they kill thousands of rattlesnakes every year, but they also are mixing up a potion for a super deadly snake! :mad:

[Selkielass]

I've heard that, and I have heard that some hunters pipe gasoline fumes into brumation sites to drive the snakes out for capture- this can harm other ground dwelling animals that share the ecosystem. (a gopher tortoises and others.)

[ConcinusMan]

Then one of the idiots lights up a cigarette. Problem solved.

[Greg'sGarters]

We should start a "rattlesnake roundup personnel" roundup!

[guidofatherof5]

They are all a bunch of asses. They care for only the mighty dollar.
I would end up in jail if I went to one of those things.

[Greg'sGarters]

If I went, there wouldn't be a festival afterwards. Just me driving to a wildlife protection park with about 15,000 rattlesnakes in a huge truck.
