If you dont provide hammocks and fleece as substrate - well your just plain old cruel -
some of you are not quite getting the point of this poll im not talking about feeding "your" dog or cat to a snake or pet rat. im talking about generally it would be very hard to kill an animal you have bonded with but why arnt foxies and cats sold frozen at pet shops for scrub pythons or olives, perfect size meal there. its a matter whats taboo in our society.
some would say that given the advancement of the human species (in relation to other species and their effect on their surroundings) that human intervention could almost be considered a natural cause.my snake has no problem eating veggies like broccoli and Brussel sprouts when he wants to so why shouldn't yours
and if u have a croc then feed it a few possums as long as they they where already dead and died of natural causes
No you're not. You set up a poll expecting and requesting responses. If the answers weren't to your liking...maybe go throw your Summer John Butler Dreads on another forum? Or thread?

23 people say all animals are equal! Amazing! I would be surprised if any of them would be as comfortable with me eating an endangered snake or whale (or human?) as they are with me eating a dim sim or fish finger. Maybe some bleeding heart who says we shouldn't even harm a mosquito when it tries to bite us, but I doubt you'd find such a person on a snake forum.
Excuse me !?!Yes dogs and cats can be wild and feral but there isnt heaps of them..
In my mind, ability to experience suffering increases with intelligence.
i dissagree with that entirly unless you mean they less intelligent the animal the less understanding it has of the pain. but i personaly believe if you rip off a crickets leg it will feel the same amount of pain a cat would if u did that same thing the cat however would have a greater understanding of the pain. but to scale they would probably fell the same amount of pain. the nerves still fire, sending messages to the brain telling it the animal is wounded.

and the idea of eating a human is ridiculous cuz anybody who has thought about it should know the human flesh is inedible:lol: its only things like the eyes and brain your body wont reject.
Animals are not equal. Some animals are meant to be food and others are not, some are endangered and others are not. These things need to be taken into consideration. Rats and mice eat a much more varied diet than a cat or dog so offers my snakes more nutrience, having said that if Barry provided pre killed, frozen puppies I would likely give them a go. Also, I am an (if not the) apex predator on this planet, I do not apologize for that, if it has no k9 teeth I can and probably will eat it, because it is meant to be food for those of us who do have k9 teeth.
Could you explain the whole tooth thing?
