Here's how I think about the death of one animal and the life of another. As humans (also a species that I frequently think less than highly off),
death is, at it's very base, a part of life. One can not have life without death. Nothing that lives will escape death. Weather your a Christian, Buddhist, atheist, it simply is what it is. Unless you are a strict vegetarian you take place in the death of animals as food for another animal. (Almost no vegetarians are strict vegetarians but there are some. This means you do not use any product that has animal used in it's creation or it's composition) It is far more noble to recognize that and learn to be unflinching in feeding your snake. It is more honest.
This is a growing process for me, he's a seasoned veteran. Haha

Point well taken. I do often joke that as I get older I become more of a vegetarian but the reality is we're omnivores so that's not really natural. Being a vegetarian is a psychological choice most of the time, not physical, so most of them to the best of there knowledge are not consuming animal products. But in the great processed society of America it's nearly impossible to avoid.
