While a large number of rattlesnake bites willnot be fatal, and may not 
cause severe complications, I believe that enough danger exists to warrant 
removal (permanent) any rattlesnake on my property! 
I have personally observed the death of a grown cow (1000 lbs.) in less 
than a hour from a single bite, and have been forced to put down a horse
because a bite in the hairline  above a hoof caused tissue damage which 
would not heal. 
This is evidence enough for me.

I agree that the old cut and suck treatment is not good, but suction (by 
mouth if there are no open sores in the mouth) will remove venom and may
lessen damage to the area.
