VENOMOIDS - They are planning a talk about the deliberate BUTCHERY and MUTILATION of venomous snakes - a practice that is considered abhorrent by reputable herpetologists and herpetoculturalists.

Hoser has published a paper on his "experiments" in some obscure herp club newsletter, and it is online at http://www.smuggled.com - the apparent purpose of the exercise is to enable he and his mates to pretend at being hero's by waving around these butchered snakes at public demonstrations ...

I only hope that the RSPCA take the time to send one of their investigators along to gather evidence for prosecuting them for aggravated animal cruelty.
