Canebrake timber rattlesnake

Dont Tread on Me! Its sadly ironic how many people that fly the Gadsden flag are the same folks that would shoot, shovel and hack these beautiful animals on sight. Infact they gather together in droves of Texan idiocy every year as a tradition for it, and the legality of that is disgusting. But most of all it is hypocritical. The Timber Rattlesnake is a stunning, pale colored crote that can be found from southern Texas all the way to New England. Thus alike the Bald Eagle, it was a prevalent animal in the original Thirteen colonies and earned its right as a symbol of the newfound country. The spirit of defense is self explanatory. Therefore, parading a gadsden around to show that you will stand up for your beliefs is great! But, mutilating the real life example of your beloved symbol is a pretty poor way to honor it..
