They do rip out the fangs,I have witnessed it personaly,and no back woods villager is going to have the means to perform a venom gland extraction!
They rip out the fangs,or they sew the mouth shut,or both!If the snake is lucky they will force feed it an egg before sewing the mouth shut,just to keep it alive that little bit longer,but no way are the farmers of thailand or northern india performing venom gland extractions!

Yeah Barry and Dave are correct.

Removing venom glands and ducts and blocking ducts is a fiddly and quite invasive procedure, they do indeed opt for the removal of fangs and/or sewing of the mouth.

stupid thing is the snake is sitting there for at least 10 seconds with it's mouth open, we know what is going to happen why doesn't the handler.

but ouch that does look sore, she should be thankful it didn't bite her anywhere else.

Yep, an when do you ever see anyone campaigning to get that stopped the way they do bear baiting etc.
