Keep in mind our government sanctions the death penalty, but then will spend millions debating whether lethal injection is too "stressful" for the condemned killer. We have our own issues.
I respect the posters that feed live, but I didn't get a BP for many years because I was concerned about having to feed live, I would have a big problem with it. I would get far too attached to the mice/rats. It was only after I was convinced that I could successfully feed f/t that I succumbed to the desire to have one.
