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’ve never done it but like, animals eat animals in the wild all the time. Lots of animals literally can’t not eat meat, if it’s their diet than it’s their diet. I wouldn’t want to watch it either but I can’t really shame nature for being nature.

    i still cry myself to sleep about it every once in a while, but i cant really get animals to follow or understand human morality

    This is the comment thread we are under. I don't know what you are talking about, but this is explicitly about wild animals, and projecting human morality onto them.

      Okay, I understand now. I thought you were referring to my comment about using pre-killed prey for pet snakes.

        No, I agree with that. Owning an un-domesticated animal is already bad. Feeding them a live rat does not solve that problem.

        Edit: oh, I am under-neath the wrong comment. I understand the confusion. Sorry!
