I love all animals, and will dread the day that I'll ever need to feed a rabbit to any of my snakes.

I've had multiple pet rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, and mice. I still do. I breed ASFs because they smell nicer than mice (10x) and I don't really like them as pets. It helps me to part with them, but I still feel terrible and miss the occasional 'pet' that I could have from a mouse or rat.

Many would call me a hypocrite. I'm a vegetarian who feeds rats and mice to snakes and is all for proper hunting and fishing. (I do it myself on occasion). When I explain to them that I'm only a veg because I hate the way the captive animals are treated, then they understand.

So I do understand the other side. I mean, I hate feeding fish to my fish and turtles. I'm not as used to it as the rats to the snakes even though they're similar creatures.

That's a really funny story BG. Even if they hate us, I don't think many of us hate them and they should try to understand that we don't kill the animals for fun or have snakes just for the kill. I think more of the time than not, they are the ones being the hypocrites by not understanding our side.
