Yup, there is a guy within 10 minutes of here who does that. He loves Craigslist and the local "free to a good home" advertisements. He makes it sound like he's the best cat daddy in the world, and the kittens go to his snake.

That's why when I can I call idiots with "Free Kitten" ads and tell them they should take the kittens to a shelter and get a spay voucher for the mother cat. Fighting dogs are recipients of free kittens as well.

Secretive stuff like this will never go away as litters of kittens will not end either.

Catty 1 this is happening all over the world sad to say.

I realize that...I thought that in this instance, it might be one isolated idiot who could be tracked...*sigh*. Idiots!

I will post this information on our local Pets list; it adds more incentive to spay and neuter.

Might save a life or two...

*sigh*

Kittens, being carnivorous animals themselves, are very poor nutrition for a snake. Snake owners who use carnivorous animals such as kittens or puppies for snake food will end up with sickly snakes.

In a way, it's not too different than rabbits. BUT what I didn't know-->

Ok, so there's no excuse for that guy. Why kittens when you can use rabbits or rodents?

Simply for the shock value. There are almost as many free rabbits on Craigslist as there are kittens, if he really wanted to go that route.

They dot he same with bunnies. There is a guy who feeds his snakes rabbits (he owns a reptile store) and he said that he was called on by animal aid and they said he couldnt do it so now he said he hs to secretly do it. He did it when the store was open too and people were cheering on the snake. It was so upsetting. I havn't gone back there since...

All those supid people who put free to loving home don't know there animals are going to be snake food.

It's sad yes but I dont get why they can't feed poultry instead of PETS to feed their snakes.

Do a little research on snakes and you will "get" it....most snakes don't do well on birds either. A very narrow margin of snake species will thrive on birds, and many of them aren't commonly kept in captivity.

I also agree with Kay in that I, personally, don't see how it is any worse to feed one species than another. Honestly, I think the mouse or the chicken values its life just as much as the puppy or kitten does.

Any chance of getting this creepazoid on the Do Not Adopt list?

**Catty1** · 11-26-2006, 08:27 PM

The last I heard about the Craigslist creep was that he had been caught by the law...and then escaped to Florida to carry on his sick practice!

**belterv** · 11-28-2006, 08:40 PM

No, I have no idea where this idiot is located.

*shutters* Report him. I cant report this person I heard of because I have no idea where he is or who he is. You should buy the kittens from him and then find them homes or at least take them to the humane society or SOMETHING.
