Understandable. Still, if a owner chooses to feed live to their snake, would you opposed it, even they were careful about it?
I am not at all “for” live feeding.
In the wild, the prey has a chance to elude the predator but not in a captive situation.
I am not at all comfortable with making one animal feel fear and pain just to feed another animal.
There are lots of places that sell humanely euth-ed feeders so that is the route I, and most I know, choose.
There’s a reason that snakes in the wild have short lives and pet snakes live long ones.
I see no reason to inflict suffering to the ‘food’ or the one eating it.
