Well that is the next part of the ongoing debate. There is some recent research that suggests that venom doesn't play a role in digestion. I don't know all the details but I will email a contact I have that is doing alot of venom research right now. The whole idea of venom as part of the digestive process was called into question when it was proven that snake will invenomate more on a defensive strike than a preditory one. Then it was found that when offered prekilled prey, a snake will use little to no venom. So the debate get complicated. I personally agree with you Nicole. I too think it's barbaric. I won't even de-claw my cats. And most other serious keeps agree with that point of view also.
