Like sure snakes look nice but i would be really fucked up if i had to give it a living or dead rat every half a week or so. Only reason im not vegan is cos of that thin layer of separation between what i eat and the animal it came from, so i dont feel awful everytime i eat, do yall not feel any of that?

    I think the fucked up thing is keeping a snake in a constricted non-natural habitat, If mice are their natural diet then that's not the bad part

    And without taking a side couldn't the same argument be extended to people feeding their cats fish?

      live fish or food with fish in it? i've never known someone to feed their cat straight up fish though as a regular diet though. Ill give my cats a little bit of tuna if i make a sandwich but thats not very often.

        food with fish in it, but then that brings up whether that's actually worse to do than feeding them live fish(being a part of natural cat diet, and even domesticated cats will go after live food if available)

          cats should probably be fed wet food mostly. Male cats get urinary problems easily from not drinking too much water plus dry food. My cats likes dry food more though so i put water in it now. Once you have a $700 vet bill for a cat you realize what a luxury it is.

      a) yes it's gross too, but people also eat fish and prawns

      b) fish and prawns are gross
