There is absolutely nothing "morally" wrong about it.
This is Nature. If you don't want to read something that may offend you, please stop now and do not read the rest of my post. Also...its really long because I'm bored at work...

I am constantly astounded at the inability for most people to have a rational viewpoint on anything. Inconsistency in one's beliefs is the fastest way to tell if someone is just flat-out immature or a completely irrational person. I wonder if these same people, who cry over a "cute" mouse being eaten by a "mean" snake would say that those mother mice who eat their babies should "burn in hell?" What about male lions who will kill their own cubs if the cub is young enough?

Just remember, it's okay for humans to torture animals from the moment they're born for our own benefit, because we are special. We need our McBurgers and our chicken finger boxes. It does not matter how the cow died, because it's not as cute as a little mouse! It does not matter if the chickens suffer in cages that are too small and that their beaks are cut. Pass the BBQ sauce! Don't get me started on the veal calf. If they are so concerned about the poor, pathetic, helpless little mouse, where is their anger for these helpless creatures?

Do these kids who post barely understandable comments on YouTube flip out about endangered species? Where is their indignation for the people who destroy rain forests? What about the snow leopards? Do they get angry about the wolves who are being killed in Alaska right now? How about the dwindling biodiversity in Alabama's rivers?

As long as we are far removed from an issue that could cause us to feel sick to our stomachs, we are free to ignore it. Iraq is way over there ---> Many people who eat burgers have never touched a cow or fed a chicken. If you're not a biologist or a sport fisher, then what do you care about trout? Grown wolves (not cute puppies!) kill people and are "mean" so they must not have any valuable place in the environment, right?
I grew up on a farm. I've milked cows and I've hunted deer. I am not far removed from what I eat, so when I see a snake make its kill it is not a shock to me. It's no different than when a coyote takes one of your sheep. My boyfriend, however, refuses to watch my snake eat. So yes, I can see how people might get upset about it if they have no idea what their steak dinner went through - or if they don't care to acknowledge it, but to say that it is morally wrong for a natural predatory creature to do what nature meant it to do is pure ignorance.

I think that the reason people get upset over snakes feeding is because it is so visceral and so real. It is one thing to watch a cheetah on the TV, in all her beauty, capture a baby impala and carry it over to her young so they can learn to hunt. People love to watch crocs lie and wait in the water, their eyes and nostrils above the surface calculating their assassination of that ugly wilder beast. It is another thing altogether to watch someone take his/her pet out of its cage and allow it to do what it has evolved to do - predate. That gets into their hostile heads and makes the reality of the suffering they introduce into the world too real.

*Please also note that I’m not saying that either live or F/T or P/K food is better or worse (I’d love to get mine eating F/T eventually) I am only attacking the YouTube people who don’t mind saying, “i hope u die and i hope ur F******snake dies you ****** burn in hell if i was there i'd kill ur snake f*****, etc.”
