Rattlesnake sacking, particularly in its competition form, is easy to understand but difficult to accept. You and your buddy dump a sack of 10 presumably unhappy rattlesnakes on the floor of a small arena, then one contestant holds the empty sack open while their teammate uses a metal hook creatively known as a "snake pinner" to transfer the reptiles back inside. This is often accomplished by tossing them, meaning whoever's holding the bag must open it wide enough to catch the flying snake on the way in, without also providing a way out for the existing occupants of the . . .
