I've been to Sweetwater for the roundup - it's a good time, like a fair. There is a midway, tons of food booths, beer/brauts/funnel cakes, shopping, games. Town is packed getting to the coliseum. If you're headed out west - it's just outside of Abilene. The Jaycees run the show and the funds go for a good cause.

They have a rattlesnake rodeo in Opp, Alabama every year.

It is a pretty big event.

This snake does not seem to be enjoying the festivities, over much.

How would you react if somebody was sewing dog and cat mouths shut for a "good cause"?

I have been there a couple of times - although the last time was ~12 or 13 years ago.

Rattle snake round ups are insane and cruel. They’re not fun, they’re disgusting displays of vulgar behavior. This is why I refuse to support the JayCees because they condone this horrid kind of festival.

Personally, I wouldn’t shed a tear if every person that attends and supports those horror shows got bit.
