I am also a believer in respecting life. Problem with F/T is people never think twice about the waste of a life when they throw out a second time thawed out rodent. Sounds like a waste and disrespect to that animal.
Interesting that this topic came up today and I actually saw it. I came home to the smell of death in my house after work today. One of my first rescues was dead in her tub. Granted she was close to 12 years old and I have had her for more than half of that. She never skipped a meal when I was breeding my own rodents and feeding live, I never could get her to switch or even show interest to anything not breathing. She wouldnt even touch prekilled. I highly doubt there were any other underlying issues other than her refusal to eat over the last 18 months.
In that time I have tried several methods and did cave a couple times with live. The whole situation suck and if my life wasnt so twisted at the moment I would go back to breeding and selling live rodents.
