That man is flipping insane to feed a puppy to a 8ft boa, oh heck, a snake of any size. Let alone to coat it in cooking oil and have two teenagers watch presumably for the sole purpose of amusement.

However, playing devils advocate, how is feeding a puppy any more cruel than feeding a rat or bunny or fetal pigs? Do dogs have that extra layer of feelings that other animals don't thus making it worthy of charging him with animal cruelty? I am by far not saying people should even consider feeding their snakes dogs, but to me the essence of that law seems bogus. I think people who do feed like this have a few screws loose and probably shouldn't be owning pets anyways (taking into point the fact the boa was taken from his possession due to neglect).

The only thing in this case that I believe worth prosecuting is the coating of oil and the show he put on for the teenagers.

JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, I DO NOT SUPPORT HIM FEEDING PUPPIES! I THINK IT'S SICK, I JUST DON'T SEE HOW IT'S LEGALLY POSSIBLE TO PROSECUTE HIM FOR DOING SO
