Sounds a little overboard to me given the activity of these snakes!

I think that they should be re-introduced to Central Park.
Then it was Snowmobiles and ATV's.
Then it was minor league stuff with horses.
Now it's BIKES!
be prepared for no-walkin zones hikers,join the club!
While I agree that rattles arent particularly aggressive unless provoked or suprised. Its rather silly to harbor deadly species in such a heavily used public park.
Grew up in Oklahoma and Colorado. Enough of these buggers there for the entire US as far as I'm concerned. I still automatically check out sunwarmed rocks for slitherheads.
Oh, Lord......enviros try to "save" the Rattlesnake and here in my area we have festivals solely for the purpose of rounding up and killing them.
These must be the same people who had a big problem with the Texas Boll Weevil ERADICATION law, because of the word "eradicate", when the weevil has no predators and lives only to ruin fields of cotton. Must be the same folks who outlawed DDT and now we're over run with skeeters.
Sheesh.
Clinton and Schumer were in the park??
hmmmm wonder if one is shumer and one is clinton????
Could be they invited kerry; kennedy; durbin; dingy hairy; and the group to join them....
If this is the case, best shut down the Park, if one of these things bite you, you could turn into a loony-lib for sure....
I used to hang out at Pelham Bay Park when I lived in the Bronx, where "Rattlesnake Brook" is located. It seems that Bronx was crawling with rattlesnakes well into the 19th century when the locals let their pigs at them (the Bronx had a lot of pig farms in those days).
Democrats in NY park!
It's true these critters reproduce very slowly and take a lot of time to recover from decimations in its population, but I still have a problem choosing rattlesnakes over people.
Well, OK, it depends on which people; if I have only terrorists to choose from, give me a rattlesnake any day. At least I know what it's going to do.
NITWITS!!!! Before we were married, my husband worked for the county weed dept. and they would catch,kill and freeze rattlesnakes all summer long. Then at the end of summer bbq, they would cook the stupid things. Yup, he tried to tell me they taste 'just like chicken'. That piece of meat didn't get close to my lips. Yuck.
Anytime someone uses the word sprawl I know which side of the fence they're on.
I haven't seen too many snakes getting killed at the Tour de France.
I've logged thousands of miles off-road in the mountains, plains, swamps and beaches on dirtbikes, ATV's and mountain bikes in the last 30 years and have NEVER run over a snake.
I ran over a squirrel once riding an on/off road bike home from work on PAVEMENT!
That dumb*ss pony-tailed dork will get his face bitten off if he keeps up his current snake tracking methods. Isn't it funny how the 'sophisticated' city liberals are so good at telling rural folks how to live?
I didn't know they were going to have a "Wacking Day" in New York.
Barry White isn't here to save you now, you slithering serpents!
I saw an article several years ago where a construction crew in upstate NY (I think?) had uncovered a nest of timber rattlers and the eco-fags had promptly shut down the construction operation, or forced them to build a chain-link fence around it, or filed 184,995 lawsuits, or invoked an equal number of pasty-faced government inspectors... Or something.
(FWIW... I have a freeze-dried rattlesnake on top of my computer monitor at work, coiled up in "Bite Liberal" position, with a sign hanging around its neck that says "Hi, I'm Hillary!!) (no, I'm NOT kidding...)
