I have no problem with feeding live this is just my 2cents, but I've read this many times and to me it's 100% the owners fault for feeding an improperly thawed rat. If someone can't take a frozen rat out of a bag and let it thaw out until it's not frozen it's there fault. If you feed a snake a live rodent and the rodent decides to fight for it's own life by chewing on your snake whose fault is that? I understand that you can be on stand by if the snake does get a bad hold on the rat but sometimes the damage might already be done since things can happen so quickly. Even with an appropriately sized, well fed, happy, oblivious rats some will fight to stay alive and you never really know when that's going to happen. You just have to be on guard and watch the situation very closely. You can never be too careful.
