Feeding

Wow, something odd happened today. I was at some forum, mostly a dog forum, and they were having a disscusion on snakes. Anyhoo, some brought up how they didn't like them because they eat rodents, then they got into some moral aspect, ect. Got me thinking about something I've never personally thought about, killing rodents. It's really weird thinking that every week an animal or two died to keep your snake full, lol. I just never thought about it like that. I think of rodents as any other food, such as dry dog food. Eh, just actually thought about it today.

Must suck for people who love rodents to know that the majority of rodents in shops are food. I'd personally be pissed if I saw a cage of bp's knowing they're gonna get eaten.

Really weird to think about. I still have no regrets tho! Call me evil, but it makes me smile when they eat

It's the circle of life, Simba . . .

The way I look at it, people pay a lot of money every year to have rodents exterminated from their homes. Those rodents just go to waste. At least the ones we buy are going to a good cause. HEHE.

Excellent point, Smynx!

People who think that animals have "morals" make me laugh. Do you think a snake in the wild sits there and thinks "Hmm, maybe I shouldn't eat this rat because it has a right to live"?? LMAO.

All that is is an example of silly, PETA-esque morons trying to anthropomorphize animals in order to justify their ignorance.

Another good point, David.

PETA also wants to take away our rights to keep herps, or any pet for that matter.

KNow another term for rodents? Vermin. There's a reason people get called "Rat Bastards".

Ever hear of black death, plague, haunta virus, etc.

I keep 2 gerbils, but don't give a (pardon the pun) rat's ass about a rodent.

JMHO.

People also don't seem to realize that without snakes to keep the rodent population down, the world would be over run with disease carrying, crop-destroying vermin and the human race would probably starve.
