You've got to be kidding me! Wow, that's a new low . Anyways, about feeders, I have a pet rat, but she will never be fed off, because all of her babies will be. I understand that sometimes to some people it sounds cruel, but it has never really effected me. Maybe I'm just too desensitized for my own good. Just don't let yourself get attached, and think of it as a relatively quick way for them to pass on, and the way to keep your snake alive.
