Mouse issue.

[kc261]

You guys enjoy seeing the snake kill the mouse? You shouldnt get that much joy out of it. Enjoy it eating yes. But u guys seem to just like to see it kill it.

Every single time I feed one of my snakes, I get joy out of it. I am still nearly as much in awe of how fast they strike and how effective of a death machine they are as I was as a child who occasionally caught a wild gopher snake, would keep it for a week or a month, and feed it a few mice during that time, before releasing them again. These are amazing animals, and their method of eating is dramatic.

It has nothing to do with the kill, and in fact on the occasions when I feed f/t, I don't react any differently.

I feel pretty much the same joy and awe seeing my mice nursing their pinkies, watching a nature show on TV, seeing a well trained horse performing dressage movements, or even watching human athletes in the Superbowl or the Olympics.

Even going with the assumption that these young men were a little more focused on the kill and a little less focused on the awesome performance of the snake (and I really didn't get that impression from listening to what they were saying anyway), who cares? Look at the world around you, what is on TV, in the movies, on the news. If someone enjoys watching their snake kill a mouse, it is hardly something to be concerned or judgemental about.
