The abuse of a severely injured Western rattlesnake in the Osoyoos area at the hands of a group of young men is a “deplorable” act, said a staff member from the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre.
The act was filmed and posted on YouTube, a video sharing website.
The video, which has since been removed from the website, shows at least two young men who have come across a rattlesnake on the road that has been injured, likely by a car or truck.
