Few Questions on laws with breeding feeders as a business...
1) I read somewhere that it's animal cruelty to kill a rodent by any other means but spinal dislocation. It seems extremely inefficient to do this to thousands of rats, plus, i think it's just cruel.

Does it HAVE TO be done this way in order for it to be legal based on what it says here and should I call to clarify?
2) Zoning. What would the zoning requirements be for raising feeder rodents (commercial, industrial, agricultural, etc)?
3) USDA License or not... Do you need any sort of USDA license or not. I saw a company who raved they were USDA licensed. Can someone explain this?
4) Are we required to have a vet come in and do inspections on our stock and get vet reports?
That's all I have right now :-)
