I cull rats when needed. I feel no guilt or hesitations as it is something that needs to be done. Don't think of it it as taking away the rats life but granting the snakes survival

Oh wow that's a bit weird.... congratulating someone on breeding something that they are going to have to kill later on down the track... :s
I think I will never be able to breed my own food.
