I could see if I was doing it out of malice or something, but I honestly believe that stunning the rodent makes it safer for all parties involved. but I will stop doing it if people really think its like a form of abuse.
You were thought wrong 20 years ago but that would be common sense really it's not better it's actually worse, worse for the snake worse for the feeder and worse for the image you project as a reptile keeper that reflect on ALL OF US.
