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?
Like I said, your own sensitivities are expected. But that's what happens in nature. It's fuckin brutal and hella fuckin metal. I recognize it as macabre, but I also recognize and embrace my own mortality. Life, and death, are both equally important, and two sides of the same coin.

I promise you, if it came right down to it, you'd kill a mouse and eat it too. Survival is a hell of a thing, and hunger is a powerful drug. And it's the only drug that snake knows.
I guess part of it might be because I come from a very rural area, and the realities of life and death were very close to the surface. The nearest hospital was an hour away, so help wasn't always coming. And from an early age I was taught to appreciate and respect both sides of the coin.
stop talking about the snake being bad and me recognizing myself with it as if i could change that!!! i feel bad for the mouse!!! i'd be scared to my bones if i knew that animals would come around and kill me any day of the week by suffucating me and liquefying me.
