    So most likely due to a persons ignorance, 2 animals were killed because of them being an animal. The puppy most likely for being a curious puppy and the snake for being a snake. They shouldnt have killed the snake, they should have killed the idiot who allowed the snake to escape or kept it in an inadequately secured cage.

    And it would be a cold day in hell before i let someone kill one of my snakes for just being a snake. Sad the puppy died but the snake didnt need to die too.

    And on a lighter note, you would amazed the looks you get when you walk into a pet shop and ask the manager if they got their delivery of feeder parakeets or feeder kittens in. I walked in and told the manager of the place i've been going to for years "Hey Joannie, you get feeder kittens in this week? My retic is starving and ready for 3 of them succulent morsels!!". A customer who was picking up a dog from grooming just looked at me blankly lol. The manager had to let her know i was just kidding and that the store doesnt sell feeder parakeets or kittens haha.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Re: MA Police shoot boa that constricted puppy

    Also I don't know what everyone's opinion on this is, but personally, I don't consider shooting an animal to be the most humane option in this situation, although it is quick. I wonder if when the owner gave permission for the snake to be humanely killed, they knew it would be dragged outside then shot instead of euthanized or something.

    Lol actually another of the stores manager's customers pulled the 'feeder parakeet' question but did it when the store was full of people. i guess a few of the customers were all asking about how the store could do such a thing with parakeets and the manager had to reassure them it was only a joke. My kitten joke only had 1 customer in the store lol. I didnt time my asking well like on a weekend when the store is full of uppity old ladies with their miniature poodles getting haircuts and nails done lol.

    Think next time, I'm going to ask how much it costs to have a bath and massage for my 7 foot boa and 8 foot retic and see the response i get lol. I have to ask a newer employee or one who doesnt know me or else they will probably just ignore me knowing i am messing with them lol.

    Right?!?!?!?! They would literally have to kill ME long before I consented to them killing my snake...for BEING A SNAKE!!!

    And can you PLEASE bring somebody with a hidden camera next time you do the "feeder kitten/parakeet" bit. The looks on people's faces must be priceless!!

    Re: MA Police shoot boa that constricted puppy

    Lol I made the mistake once, while (fruitlessly) trying to switch my KSB to frozen thawed, of asking if I could get a fresh killed mouse. There wasn't anyone around, but the owner swooped out of his office so fast to yell at me I swear he musta been the flash
