snakes can digest their own hearts!!!

I understand that some are mad because snakes make you feel all fuzzy inside, but it's not like he was cruel to them. Everyone knows that snakes can live for over a year without food, and some have actually had snakes refuse food on their own for that long. 168 days is only half a year, so I don't really see that as being cruel since their body structure is made to function with a lack of food. As far as the blender goes, they were euthanized first, so still no cruelty there either. If his studies do end up playing a part in helping humans survive longer periods of time without dying from hunger, I'd say those snakes died for a good purpose.

yeah snakes do make me feel fuzzy inside, i like it (: i dont think the experiment was worth it though, do you? i dont think that his studies will end up helping humans in any way, other than relating snakes to all other living things which isnt very groundbreaking. the starving wasnt so bad the dead ball python in a blender was the sick part. he could have just taken tissue samples and blended those but im no scientist and idk if that would work.
and yeah im totally snakist here but why couldnt he have used some other snakes!! ball pythons are exotic and beautiful ):
its like if i blended cheetahs instead of idk i cant think of a good example haha but catch my drift ?
