You seriously expect me to “educate” ignorant, heartless morons?
And no, they don’t just “fall into a torpor and die peacefully.”
Freezing them considered the -most- inhumane way of euthanizing *sick* snakes, let alone healthy ones.
They suffer just as much as a puppy or kitten would.
Freezing fish is also incredibly brutal.
The again, I’m obviously not dealing with biologists, here.
Everyone who laughed, mocked or gloated about this act of soulless cruelty is a sadistic, cowardly, phobic prick, IMO.
[so, do you want me to say how I “really feel”?]
My comment was about loosing snakes. That in some cases makes those puppies and kittens subject to death worse than freezing. IMO.
If that makes me one of the "ignorant, heartless morons" in your opinion than I accept that as a compliment.
(Though you did not address me specifically you were asked to "educate" me specifically. Thanks. But no thanks. I said that I object to releasing snakes into the wilds (public?) and do not see what makes my opinion so controversial.)
That was exactly why I pinged you to the thread, actually. In hopes maybe even ONE person might believe it from someone who’s handled tame snakes, someone who they trust.
They interest me more and more, but I simply don’t have the sort of firsthand experience to speak authoritatively, and you do.
And to whoever it was upthread, I don’t look very kindly on ANY tame animal being tossed out. They’re domesticated, not wild, and it’s not going to end well for beast nor human.
