I'm no religious/legal scholar, but
this sounds like it could slither into the realm of religious prosecution:
The pastor of a Kentucky church that handles snakes in religious rites was among 10 people arrested by wildlife officers in a crackdown on the venomous snake trade.
More than 100 snakes, many of them deadly, were confiscated in the undercover sting after Thursday's arrests, said Col. Bob Milligan, director of law enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.
Let 'em have their deadly, deadly reptiles. This sounds like a problem that's going to take care of itself, eventually.
