"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

It's about not giving people your energy who don't deserve you. When you become stronger and more resilient you start pulling away from people who are toxic and are trying to bring you down.

Investigating The Horrific Crimes Against Children 35:58

My next guest has been in law enforcement for a very long time, and his area of expertise in crimes against children. These are horrific crimes that are very difficult to investigate for everyone involved. God Bless the men and women who investigate this crimes. Mike Weber, is a graduate of the University of North Texas (BS, 1990), who has an impressive 40-year law enforcement career. This includes over 16 years investigating Crimes Against Children. His impressive amount of years, along with his dedication to combating crimes against children have established him as a national authority in the investigation of Medical Child Abuse, commonly known as Munchausen by Proxy. Mike and I also talk about how these crimes can mentally effect the investigator, and we also touch on agency betrayal. You can find Mike here: https://www.mikeweberconsulting.com/ A special thanks to YOU. The criminal justice / first responder professional. Thank you for what you do every day for our communities.

Most first responders have this trait. In fact, I would say most people in the world want to be in control all the time. The reality is that most of the times we are NOT. You can't control other people or most situations, but you CAN control You and how You react. When you stop giving your power and energy to the things and people you can't control you will start to regain your personal power so you can use it the way you need to that benefits YOU.
