I see nothing wrong with feeding live animals. Frozed animals r lesser of a quality (I hope that made sence). I'm required to feed live mice, rats, hamsters, fish & frogs to my turtle because everything is ok with the animal & nothing is broken down/damaged due to freezing.

& feeding just fish isn't healthy, the rept. need stuff from mamales too. like fur, bones, skin & other stuff.

& yes I agree its not easy feeding cute cuddly animals to another animal. But I think cows r cute & I love beef. I alst think chicks r cute & super fluffy & I eat eggs. I don't see too much difference, but thats just me. But there is a huge difference in a pet & dinner. but dinner should be treated with equally respect as a pet is.

Just my opinion.
