..I am a red-blooded carnivore, who also breeds rats for my snakes.. and my best friend on the planet is a vegetarian keeper of small fuzzy animals who gets upset about hearing that my snakes eat rats?
Do any of you have similar friendships? It is just weird.. I don't feed snakes in front of her, but she goes get a little upset seeing my breeder rats and knowing that the babies are snake-bound...
I've been bickered at by a customer at the pet shop I used to work at...I was in to buy rats...and she was there to buy a pet rat. Well she asked why I wanted them...I said that they were for my snakes...

I was looking at the Pink Eye White rats (what were sold as feeders) so she suddenly decided she wanted to buy all of the pink eyed white rats before me for pets (to save them)...I just told her...well my snakes have to eat, and they don't care whether the rats are cute, different colors etc, so there is really no point in trying to buy all of the "feeder rats" as either way I was going home with as many rats I needed.

She told me I was a horrible person for feeding them rats, so I told her either they are going to eat rats or going to die of starvation... and asked her if she would want any living creature to die of starvation, or rather "sacrifice" 52 rats per year. Also I added with how prolific rats are that feeding one a week wouldn't make a large impact to the rat population. She frowned, turned around and left the store without any rats...

Its not like she would give up food to save a plant...plants have feelings too..so she better not eat any more salad...LMAO. Some people.
