Timber rattlesnakes are magnificent beasts, and yet they've almost been wiped out by the pathetic "do-gooders" frightened of their own shadow. This tiny population on this island may actually conserve this species. Maybe not. Frankly, I think it's too late for the timber rattlesnake. But at least this a logical, and somewhat practical attempt, to keep the species alive in the wild. I support this effort.
There are probably 100 million timber rattlers in Texas. Big ones, chili for eight.
That’s the difference between Texas and Mass. They regard them with extreme fear, we regard them as chili makins.
Taste like chicken. Or Gator. Good eatin’.
Thank you for standing up for them.
Further reasons to preserve them.

Right now, right here, countless peoples’ lives are being saved with medicines derived from the venom of the very snakes they seek to destroy and they do not even know it.
How ironic.
