This makes me...angry

You've not eaten a kitten so can you say that kittens are not delicious? I know that python disagrees. There is no reason to put the importance of one creature over another based on personal feelings. At the end of the day a creature must eat to survive and I don't have as a big of a problem as some of it being a domesticated animal that wreaks havoc on wild species.

This is more about the unabashed emotional cruelty of one person (supposedly from our hobby) towards another. Not that it was a certain type of animal.

As I mentioned before...feed what you like but don't be a **** about it.

Either way in my opinion they are still better than a life of torture at the hands of a cruel owner. Just to be clear I also feed pre-killed and would never suggest someone do otherwise.



Cats are and have been considered a food source by many societies. I am assuming you are not labeling these societies as entirely made up of psychopaths. Comparing feeding a kitten to a snake and killing another human being is a stretch by any psychological standard.

I figured that wasn't the point you were trying to make, but it's worth mentioning that constriction isnt a swift death. And venom has different effects depending on what it's injected into. As mentioned my C. Molossus kills in 10-20 seconds, a human will cerainy not die from the same bite in equal time. We're talking the difference of injecting xxx mls of venom into someone who weighs 200lbs vs a mouse that weighs well under a pound.
