Wanton
It has been exceedingly difficult editing these images (videos to follow). For the rest of the week I will be reliving this awful experience over and over. I stood here for twenty minutes watching two or three diamondbacks getting beheaded a minute. On several occasions one of the guys would bring over a decapitated snake to where I was standing, hold it up proudly, blood streaming from the animal's neck and urge the nearest kid to touch the twitching reptile. He then would bellow his favorite one liner, "Don't worry, it can't bite you now!"
