Despite being an extremely cruel event, the annual World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texas, continues to take place.
Last weekend in Texas, a rattlesnake event took place, which included terrifying acts such as skinning, slaughtering, and “milking” the creatures of their venom.
A contest for local young women is also organized, in which they take turns beheading snakes in the hopes of being crowned ‘Miss Snake Charmer.’
