Free Kittens = Snake Food !!!! (Everywhere)
Read the Craigslist warnings and be very careful who you give your pets too !

Re: free kittens are snake food (Everywhere)
Sorry to disappoint you, but 99.9% of snake owners would not feed a kitten to their snake. Stop giving us a bad reputation. We aren't evil, sadistic individuals. I've got snakes and cats. And *gasp* just adopted a FREE 8 week old kitten. And still, what are my snakes eating? Frozen rats!

Apparently someone posting on the Knoxville craigslist thinks free kittens are snake food. I mean honestly how can people be so stupid to think this?

No way...

Free kittens and puppies are sadly more likely to be used with other nasty things like 'practice' for dogfighting. But not snake food.

My cats would put a hurting on some of my snakes if I tried to feed them. Plus I like cats too much.

Because someone has done it before. I remember earlier this year they busted someone for animal cruelty and part of the charges were for allegedly feeding dogs and cats acquired from craigslist to their collection.

It only needs to happen once for people to assume that everyone is doing it.

That's horrible, I wonder why I never heard about that. I probably did and just forgot but I don't watch the news. I should though.

I know there are better articles out there, but I really don't feel like searching for them. This is the first one that came up in the search: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairba...itive_loui.php

People are always posting obscene things on CL. I think more cops should patrol CL, I'm sure they could arrest a lot of people (and not for things limited to animal abuse)

thers some crazy people on my CL, one guy is constantly posting about how people giving their pets away for free are irresponsible because they end up like/as snake food, target practice etc. etc... its really quite annoying and rather hard to ignore

Someone keeps putting their rabbit up on CL with a rehoming fee...says the fee is to make sure someone would take her as a pet and not snake food

To most anyone else I would say "Eh i'm not going to read that" but since it's you and you took the time to search it I read it. I can't believe someone would actually do that. I mean it's not as bad as China cooking live cats but still. Last night after I put one of my rats in a plastic bag to pre kill it, I gave it a good hard whack on the floor and somehow it was still alive. I was horrified and quickly finished the job.
