Snake Feces

[AkHerps]

The difference is, you are in a sense, playing, "God". In the wild, there are no medications, no vets, if a snake gets sick, yes, it can suffer and die. In captivity, the owner plays the role of, in a sense, a "God". You can choose to take your animals to the vet, and try to help them get better, or you can choose to take away their life if given the choice, or you can choose to let them suffer yourself.

Snakes have a nervous system just like anything else, they can easily feel pain.

Let's look at it this way. If your colon was hanging out, or your..."hemipene" was erm...prolapsed...what would you want done if you knew there was no hope of living because someone couldn't afford your surgery? Would you want to suffer, or get put out of your misery.

Your problem is, you are allowing yourself to see this snake as a mere object, while it is in fact something that can feel pain just like anything else.

It's the same problem we face with dog fighting and animal cruelty, when people say, "Well it's just a dog, or, it's just an animal".
