People say it's right because it's life and happens in the wild.

Yes that's true it happens in the wild but putting it in a snakes environment isn't natural and these are the reasons why.

1.Most snakes including corns are ambush hunters so if the rodent is put in it's tank it's not natural hunting.

2.The rodent has nowhere to go so it's only choice is to fight(They can hurt the snake badly)

3.It's inhumane on the rodent whereas the pre-killed rodents are killed more humane(at least in the UK they are)

4.Lastly it isn't life/natural because in the wild they have a chance to escape in essentially a cage they don't.

Not natural on either animals, cruel even.

Just to add to that, there is a video on YoutTube of a rabbit(Domestic) being put in front of a python in a house and being eaten.

Not right at all, in the wild the snake would hunt it and the rabbit would of known to run and maybe had a chance but this rabbit is obviously domestic and has never seen a snake.

I do admit as a last resort(Snake wont touch anything) it's the right thing to do.

Also thoughts on people who do it for a laugh/entertainment?

The United Kingdom isn't a country! Add England fool!
