this was posted on another forum but the more people who sign it obviously the better....
I would like to bring to your attention a barbaric practice taking place in Australia to venomous snakes.
Venomoids are not a new thing in reptile keeping but the way this particular person does it is extremely cruel.
A few Australian and international herpers have started a petition to have it stopped and we would like help from everyone in reptile keeping world wide to voices their disgust,
if you disagree with it that is.

The petition is not against the person involved but the way he carries out the procedure, which is in short:

Cutting out the venom glands without any anesthetic by strapping their heads to a wooden board with rubber bands.

If anyone feels this should be stopped please click the link to the petition site and sign.

Here is the link:

Thank you all for taking the time to read and hopefully sign the petition and best wishes from OZ!
