Just like to point out that i am vegan myself and we are not all like that! For myself, i don't see why animals should die to sustain me, as i can live happily without. But snakes are carnivores and that's nature. At least the mice we buy are killed humanely and not bled to death like the animals some people eat.

totally agree with Rasee's post, many many moons ago I worked next door to a chicken processing plant... and she would have loved to should see how the poor chickens were handled and killed...thats was inhumane.

My wife had an issue recently with a now ex friend.
Recently turned vegan, and jumped on her high horse at the same time about feeding rats to our Boa.
(as we have had rats as pets in the past)
This is the same person who has a dog.What does she feed it veggie's lol.

I always wonder why veggies and vegans don't have a problem with plant lives being sacrificed as well...
FYI my OH is veggie so I'm not a hater...

Oh, dont get me wrong, Im not a hater at all, I have many friends who abstain from meat, apologies for any unintentional insult.
The only people who have ever complained to me about frozen mice have however had such a food preference, at the same time though they are also the people who call me a murderer so I guess they are a tad extremist x.x

Noo those things make me cry. But that doesn't say much, spiders in pet shops make me cry too.... lol



And no offence was caused at all, I'm just aware that the majority of vegans people have come into contact with are the crazy ones, because the sane ones don't feel the need to scream their eating habbits at strangers. We are by all means not the same.
