No there is a place in FL where they made it Illegal to buy rodents for reptile food! They have to order from elswhere and or lie at the pet stores and hope for the best.Quote:

I have eaten and will continue to eat both chickens and rabbits just not my pets though when I have land may raise my own for food but they wont be pets.
I don' see the problem either with feeding kittens but they shouldn't be fed alive. They should be euthanized in some way that isn't to cruel or harmful to the snake, like a broken neck. The frozen mice that are fed are gased then frozen by the better mice for food breeders.
If I'm going to eat meat or have a pet that eats meat or even just own a pet I don't see myself having the right to say others shouldn't use animals the way they see fit as long as there is not abuse or cruelty. Feeding live is mean to the kitten but it's also mean to mice and potentialy harmful to the snake in both cases. You only rarely get a snake that will only eat live then, well you do what you must and it is usualy over wuickly for the "prey" but it's really better to feed frozen-thawed "whatever you choose"
It's not actualy illegal here to do that to a kitten. The person isn't dirrectly causing harm to the animal. Cruelty laws are not all encompasing and vary from state to state and cunty to county like most laws. I think they should apply to all animals that they be treated humanely till death even if that happens to be slaughter for humans or fed to a snake intead of old age.
Heck it's been scientificly prooven even plants scream, we just can't hear it. It's the cercle of life and I choose to admit I'm part of it. It's just a shame government says i must be poisoned for the worms with "embaming"
