Just went to go get my months supply of mice, well walked out the shop and bumped into a woman who immediately gasped and went on to call me disgusting and inhumane! i laughed and said whats inhumane is feeding them live i'm just feeding my pets!!!
She demanded my phone number, which i willingly gave her along with my address and she said she was reporting me to the RSPCA i said 'say hi from me!'
Grrr some people are so stupid!!!!
Sorry rant over!!!! |

| good for you! I'd never have given her my phone number or address though, she might organise some kind of anti snake keeping rally outside your house, or post your number up online for fellow whingers to send you horrid messages. |

Ha-ha-ha! I would have laughed too, told her to call the Police then charge her with public harassment and stupidity. Bit of a waste of Police time tho. The RSPCA will set her straight. 
Well done for keeping the cool. 
Good point from Sleeper tho. She had no right to 'demand' any details. I withdraw the not calling the Police suggestion. |

Fair point there Sleeper but i think she was just an outraged middle aged woman and i did say to her the RSPCA will tell you that what im doing is perfectly acceptable and is the best way to feed a snake and she said 'well i would rather hear that from someone who knows what they are talking about!'
So i think and hope she will get her answer and accept it!  |

Yes, I would hope she calls you with an apology if she has your number!
Although by the way she acted, highly unlikely |

Hm, I wonder if this woman would be standing in front of a supermarket or butchers having a go at people buying meat? Bet she buys a frozen chicken for herself - exactly the same as us buying frozen mice for our snakes, the only difference being the chickens are already gutted and plucked etc.. bit hypocritical, really.

| Ugh. People like that really annoy me. It's that sort of person that feeds their dogs a vegetarian diet... Ridiculous. At least you're not buying live mice to feed them! Sounds like she doesn't have a clue. |

| I've had the same problem in a large pet store. The checkout girl said it was disgusting that I was buying those poor dead mice, and that you can tell how they have been cruelly killed because of the shape of them in the bag. Have to say I was gobsmacked at her out burst especially as the shop sells snakes and obviously feeds them mice. |

I usually get this from veggies and vegans...they like to point out their food preferances quite bluntly at the time to....
I like to mention how many animals die from the rainforests being de-forested for their grains... |

I feed my Cat pouches of shredded,chicken,duck,rabbit, my dogs eat dried food this contains chicken or beef that has been made in to moist chunks, so there is no difference when i feed my snakes mice, what is wrong with people when something that is mashed up and comes in a packet seems better than a mouse that has been put to sleep.
The Parrot also likes chicken but only if its roasted (she`s fussy like that). |
