What are the pros of feeding live?

Cons for me are:
-cost, FT in bulk is less expensive.
-have to drive and get rodents (large amounts for some people).
-Rodents are messy and alot of live rodents in transport containers is gross, they cannibalize eachother at times, they smell.
-they poop and pee in the cages, chew up paper, splash in water bowls, if not eaten right away.
-what to do if your snakes dont eat them? now I have to either make a place for them and feed them or kill them. if you have lots of snakes this may not be a problem.
-and now the small chance of a rodent bite that is not even an issue with FT.

I personally dont see any advantage to live, I dont think its wrong and if you want to thats great but I have yet to see any advantage here.
And again I say that is your personal choice and opinion
