Valsad: Do not take this as a personal attack.
You policy is ignorant!
Take it from someone who, HAS, been bitten by a Rattlesnake - YOU do not want to be bitten by a Rattlesnake!
NOR... do you want to be responsible for allowing a poisonous snake to go on about its business and later bite someone else and have them go through the agony and damage a Rattlesnake bite will instill.
Reconsider your ill advised policy.
I kill every Rattlesnake I come across - period!
And I strongly recommend you do the same.
Hold into the wind

It's OK Varmintguy,
I'll not look at it as a personal attack. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
I'd no more kill
every rattler I see than shoot every dog I see running loose because more than one chased me at times and wanted to bite me.
Or shoot every hawk I see because they got some of my chickens once. Same goes for raccoons.
Or shoot every bear or mt. lion, etc, I see because someone else got attacked by one.
If something is an immediate danger to me or my loved ones, two or four legged, then they get the axe.
I can certainly understand your reluctance to let them live though, and I might change my mind if I am ever bitten.
Respectfully,
Geno
