I agree 100% ! I would rather die from an animal (some thing I love) than murdered in cold blood by some sicko! About the f/t and live, I've feed my snakes both my corn ate f/t fine (until I got a rotten batch from Pet Smart) and my bp ate f/t for about 2 months and started refusing it so I went back to live. Because of the rotten mice I only felt comfortable feeding f/t that I killed (the only reason I started f/t was a bite she received after tyring to eat a mouse alive). I'd much much rather have her kill the rat than me. I hate killing any animal, if we get a mouse I use a live trap and let it go out side, but I love my non human babies and I will do what ever it takes to keep them healthy and happy. This thread is reminds me of an article I read about a PETA nut job that fed his savannah monitor only lettuce to turn it in to a vegetarian!
