Re: This makes me...angry
I agree that the idea of using kittens as feeders really isn't any different from feeding rats or bunnies. I would never do it myself, since rats are much cheaper and more readily available and come in more convenient sizes for the snakes I have. I love cats, too. I adore them! I also love (domestic) rats, and bunnies but that doesn't mean they aren't a valid source of nutrition. Likewise, I love chickens but that doesn't mean I won't eat them.
But I still don't like this guy's post, because of the comments it generates. Things like "This is why people should never own snakes or any exotic animal!" or "Kill it with fire" or "What does anybody see in these monsters? All snakes should be banned"; those are the kinds of attitudes that drive the legislations that are always trying to tighten the noose around our hobby. I don't like to see anyone feeding that flame.
