How Not To Feed Your Snake (Graphic)!

[Mephibosheth1]

Whether you believe in an intelligent designer or not, the snake is designed to asphyxiate the rat…in nature that's what it would do. If you don't like it, argue with Richard Dawkins or with the God of your choice, depending on what you believe in.

Its not about how a animal kills another animal. He is trying to say the BP was killed in pain as if the feeder was not suppose to meet the same fate and so its wrong.

So if a deer kills a hunter before he can shoot it and eat it there's nothing wrong with it, because the hunter was going to kill the deer anyway??

Yes every thing has a right to protect its self. So if you kill a human who was going to kill you then eat him its fair also.

You don't think its torture to let a animal get its breath slowly squeezed out of it? As far as food and water in less the bp had no water also I am sure the tank had water also we all know what the feeder had for food.

actually, when the BP gets a good hold, its heart failure induced by disruption of blood circulation. so the mouse or rat goes unconscious and dies much faster, compared to asphyxiation. its quite humane.

see above.... if all goes to plan, the rhodent is dead long before asphyxiation could kill it.

if the picture actually shows what it implies (i still say its possible someone fed a dead BP to a mouse and the BP died from something else), then its cruel, unusual, and really slow. and preventable.

a mouse getting killed by a constrictor is not the same. seconds instead of hours, thats 3 orders of magnitude of difference right there.

Well I will keep waiting for my BP to kill so well as he still has yet to kill a feeder in under one min. Heck the last one he ate was still making noise as he started.

I didn't expect to come back to this thread to find a trollfest.

As many have pointed out:

• It's a mouse, not a rat.
• It's 100% real. Not faked or staged.

And the point is if you feed live don't leave it unattended like that. You can get away with leaving a pup or younger but certainly not an adult feeder.

How this turned into a philosophical debate on the sanctity of life I have no idea.

What trollfeast? All I see is a bunch of BP owners having a conversation about killing.
