Kittens For Food?

[sur3fir3]

As someone who grew up in an environment where we did kill and butcher a lot of what we ate, I agree that the general population needs to be more educated on where their food comes from, I don't agree that we should or need to eat our pets though. We definitely had an understanding growing up as to which animals were companion animals and which were grown or hunted for food. I feel like more people need to live by the "take only what you need" philosophy.

By no means did I mean everyone should eat the same animals they keep as pets. I more meant that using pets as food source for other animals that eat meat is ok. I see nothing wrong with feeding a large snake a puppy, or even an old full grown dog. I just look at it like its the cycle of life, and why waste perfectly good meat? I believe that feeding pythons kittens could really take care of some of our cat/dog population. What if you could goto the pound and pick up frozen animals to be used as food ? Not only could they make money from it, and recoup some of their cost. We would be doing our community a service by helping to rid us of strays and sick/dying animals. The fact is we have to put these animals down. if these strays could provide a food source for other animals, I don't see a problem with it. I liken it to Organ donation. Many people when they die allow their organs to be harvested for someone else. I see feeding our dead pets to reptiles sort of the same thing. Their body will allow our snake or whatever to go on living. I know my belief will not be a popular one, and some people may even get upset about it. But I always say this. Just cause someone doesn't agree with you it doesnt make one of you wrong. everyones beliefs have been formed over years of experience and and circumstances. Everyone believes according what has happened to them. Saying that, I dont think anyone is wrong in their beliefs. They are just different. Who am I to say that your belief is wrong?
