Best Answer

People pinpoint a region and capture rattlers, and bring them to a central location. The snakes are killed and skinned, some are even cooked, and eaten. The whole thing has a carnival atmosphere, and is being outlawed in many states, as some rattlesnake species are in decline. It is a barbaric custom, and should be outlawed everywhere.
