....."Hutchins described the snake's venom as a "whole cocktail" and warned that if bitten, the nearest hospital should be alerted as the victim is en route because doctors must use different anti-venom for Mojave rattler bites than for other rattlesnakes.".....

I've watched beheaded, gutted, skinned carcasses crawl out of the bucket and across the floor at Waurika.

Goodness, I haven't been there in YEARS!!! Do they still have the rattlesnake hunt??

Man I would have to be darn hungry to eat a cobra. All of the things in the world to eat and these people want to eat a cobra?

IMHO, the definition of "delicacy" is some type of food(?) for people with toooooooooooooooooo much money or toooooooooooooooooo little commone sense. Of course, somtimes their folk lore, customs, traditions, etc. come into play, but I leave those at the door and let common sense prevail. Coming from beef country, I have yet even developed a taste for lamb, let alone cobra, sushi(of any kind), lion fish, bird's nest soup, Haggis, etc. One of the possible exceptions is Korean Kimchi(vegetable not animal), which I do like and have eaten racoon, possum, (which I will not recommend).
