I know that rattlesnakes are a danger, and I do not object to their removal from areas where they pose a threat to humans. But when I see photos like this I think "what a magnificent animal!", and am saddened that it had to be dispatched. Don't get me wrong, I know that these things need to be done sometimes. But I sincerely hope that this old timer wasn't destroyed for pure sport. All of God's creatures deserve respect.
