About World Snake Day
Ends: Jul 16, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
World Snake Day aims to change perceptions of snakes. Sponsored by Advocate for Snake Preservation (ASP), its mission focuses on science, education, and advocacy to promote compassionate conservation and coexistence with snakes.
From the promoters:
"Each year, tens of thousands of rattlesnakes are taken from the wild to be displayed and slaughtered for entertainment and profit at rattlesnake roundups, which occur throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Alabama.
Promoted as folksy, family-friendly fun, these events foster disrespect for native wildlife and the natural world. They are a gross example of wildlife management based on fear rather than science. Professional hunters, not bound by 'bag' or 'take' limits, remove snakes from their native habitats and are awarded cash prizes for bringing in the most and biggest snakes. Most snakes are caught by pouring gasoline into their winter dens, polluting surrounding land and water, and may impact up to 350 other wildlife species. Rattlesnake roundups depend on the public's misconception of snakes as dangerous pests that we cannot safely tolerate near our homes. No aspect of these events is sustainable, educational, or necessary."
World Snake Day is one of two days highlighting snakes, and the other is Serpents Day.
