<< The rattler gatherers in Alamogordo, most of them amateurs, get about $4 a pound for the captured snakes.

Don Castillo, who runs a concessions company, will buy this year's cache of snakes, drown them and then sell virtually every part of them. The meat will go to a buyer in California who sells it to restaurants as a delicacy item.

"The meat is very delicious," said Castillo, who describes the taste as a combination of chicken and shrimp. "No fat and no cholesterol in it."

The skins are used to make items like belts, billfolds and hat bands. The rattlers are made into earrings and key chains and the heads are sold as souvenirs. >>



Looks like good commerce to me. I give the even two thumbs up.

Well I'm not too shocked, seeing as how you hail from a land where watching a moose take a dump counts as entertainment.
 
From what I read, it seems like both sides are exagerating the facts to suit their own agendas. Snakes are not a good source of food and killing that many snakes will not cause a drastic shift in the eco system.
