Thoughts on no bite/feeding posts?

[Marrissa]

People say they will continue to post feeding pics but only on reptile websites should also keep in mind that the organizations looking to take away our ability to keep exotic pets may still view these forums.

Which is my thought as well. It's probably easier to access it here than FB. But then I can see people who enjoy posting them wanting some kind of outlet. I personally don't think it should be done anymore. I feel it's definitely less damaging when done tastefully (no live feeding videos, no pictures with joking captions, no videos showing lack of respect for the feeders, etc) than bite stuff though. Feeding pics are just kinda "meh" for me. Seen it a million times. Always interesting to watch in person but I don't think it needs to be shared. And like Kevin mentions it comes off as "relishing" in feeding animals to ours. Like another poster mentioned there's a variety of videos/photos/documentaries already out there showing this. There will be no more bite photos from me. I don't think I've ever posted feeding photos and I won't start.

It really sucks we have to so carefully watch what is done in the hobby because our animals are the subject of many phobias and misunderstandings. I do think we need to really police ourselves though.
