Rattlesnake roundup attracts thousands

A man who collected 540kg of rattlesnakes was first in line on Friday morning for the annual Rattlesnake Roundup in the small West Texas town of Sweetwater. The event, officially known as the World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup, started as a way to control the snakes in the area but has grown into a four-day attraction.
