    Re: Kittens For Food?

They're clean and free of parasites and free of meds or poisons, and most importantly that they're bred and sold from the get-go in order to be reptile food.

    So an accurate comparison to using kitten overpopulation as food is more like: would you feed feral rat pinks to your snakes?

    That's really it, there isn't much to talk about.

    But if one was asking if one day, people somehow run out of rabbits (lol) and start businesses of breeding kittens as large reptile feeders... That would be more ethically accurate to your rats/mice/hamsters comparison.
    Yeah, I more took it as FT kittens/cats that are bred for that purpose like FT mice and rats at pet shops and suppliers.

    If we are talking feral or even house pet cats, no i wouldnt feed them as it has already been stated, they are sure to have some form of parasite just like a wild rodent.

    Heck if they want to control cat populations, just pass a law where you cant sell cats that arent spayed or neutered. If a private party is caught, its a hefty fine. Only allow show cats or licensed breeders to have fully functioning cats.
