    Re: When people force their own agendas on animals...

    John, that video is a perfect response to any of these kinds of questions ever LOL

    Seriously, and python teeth aren't built to chew either, even just in that regard? I don't know what makes people think they can eat sliced beef, like a dog or cat can. o__o

I asked her what the difference was. Asked if maybe the gassed rodents even had a better death than the chickens who are stunned with electricity and then have their necks cut (which she didn't have a problem with). She couldn't come up with a reason, but still felt that store meat would be preferable. Ok, that's just one ditzy 12-year-old. But it doesn't seem to be an uncommon belief. Idk people, try to explain your beliefs to yourself before you share them, see if they make any sense .

    I don't like it when people feed their cats or dogs vegetarian/vegan kibble. But at the same time, most cheap kibbles have almost no meat in them anyway. And the most popular dog food in the US is Ol' Roy. So I don't feel like those that do it for their beliefs are any worse than those that do it for financial reasons.
    Right? Hahah this seems to be everyone... Somehow nobody is against feeding butchered dead animals to your snake, since they can't see the whole animal? Somehow?

    Agreed about the cheap dog food vs. ignorant beliefs placed on their pets...

This is why I like animals :/

    While on the subject, the vegans I know also are firm believers that it is cruel to keep any animal in a cage. So I really should just let the snake and fish roam freely all over the house. If they truly love me, they won't run away, right?
    Eewww... Kind of borderline animal rights activists. You know, the people think nobody should own any kind of domesticated animals, ever LOL.
